Weather changes rapidly. On our recent Day Skipper Course we started with rain, rainbow, beautiful sunset on first evening as we sailed to Beaulieu. Look at the wonderful Monday morning we had coming out of Beaulieu. So calm and magical.
If considering doing a sailing course please contact me. There are places on a course 21-26 September run by a fellow skipper. £550 per person
