Lymington

Having left Portsmouth yesterday lunchtime by the time we got to the waters off Egypt Point near Gurnard the tide had turned going east where the wind was coming strongly from the west, therefore the slop in the Solent made it very uncomfortable on the boat.  We decided to shelter in Lymington here for the night.  After a late lunch snack we sat on board in the lovely sunshine relaxing before going up to Stamwells for dinner.  We wanted a Chinese meal but the one on the quay has gone and the other one at the top end of town wasn't rated very highly by the barmaid in the pub nearby.  We tok her word for it as she was very intelligent and well spoken and made us feel very welcome.  I don't think I'd go back to Stamwells as it was quite expensive, although the food was good.  Bill said that we were paying for surroundings and lots of staff.  Main courses were typically £20 or more and starters nearly £10.  Nice boutique hotel though.

Trying to go to Weymouth today with the tide that leaves about 1pm, it's 12.30 now.  If it's messy out there again on the water we will probably go to Christchurch.
