Post Everest I have been getting involved in a bit of horse riding, kiting and now sailing.
My brother invited dad and I for the day on Nomad 1, skippered by Lou. We where moored up at Gosport where we spent the night on board before setting out to sea.
A day trip to Chichester harbour for lunch was on the agenda. Low winds in the morning for the journey where predicted but Lou assured us this would change for the return. The wind picked up on the way back and we had the boat sailing at about 7 knts which was plenty for my first time at the helm.
I had the challenge of mooring the boat back at port and I must say I think I did a pretty good job.
I am now awaiting another invite out into the ocean and aboard Nomad 1. I had a great day at sea.
Big thanks to Andy, Leanne, Dad and Lou for a great day.
