Poole Rally

Toucando enjoyed the Gaffers' Poole Rally. We had a great sail out on Friday. We stayed at Poole Quay on Saturday... doing some land based sightseeing and shopping before taking the bus to the RMYC for our evening meal with other gaffers.
On Sunday we had a very lumpy crossing of the bay, complicated by a sail problem and an engine problem. We went in to Yarmouth. Both problems were sorted out very easily on Monday, and we then sailed up to Southampton very quickly in a strong south westerly. Thanks to crew Kev, Lesley and Roger.
