Thursday 20th August

Another opportunity window. A very early start this morning for a few hours at Ringstead before the wind moves Southerly ready for the gales tomorrow. Met a few Guys from Portland, " members of WSA and myself for WMAC. Tourists were lean first thing but by 11.30 the place was ram jam packed - they were even parking on the landing area! Wind had veered too so time to try Creech. Pulled up at Wool and checked Google Maps live traffic. It tells me that there are many cars on Grange road and surrounding areas. Give that a miss then and go home. Down to 8 cruise ships from 9 on Tuesday and one has now anchored in the harbour. Hazy sort of sunshine today but wind around 22 mph.

And some more..........
