In addition to our usual camp at Autumn camp at Cobnor House, this year we organised a camp for the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. The weather was excellent, sunny every day with clear blue sky from horizon to horizon meaning there was sure to be a sea breeze even though the forecasted wind was only an Easterly F1-2. Each day we waited for the sea breeze to start, which gave a cooling and refreshing F3 Southerly breeze

across the harbour. Given the tide, the best place to go was to East Head, HISC and then home, on one day via Bosham for ice creams. We teamed up with First Sunday Sailing Group (FSSG) and enjoyed fleet cruising with them on both Saturday and Sunday. On Monday the sea breeze took longer to arrive than on the other days, and by noon we had solid wind. We had time to visit East Head for lunch, a chat and a snooze in the sun. Furthermore, we were joined in Chichester Harbour by the Cody Sailing Club yachts who sailed from Portsmouth and spent the night in Itchenor.

We managed to do joint cruises over the long weekend with the FSSG to East head. We have invited them to join us at Poole camp and the next Bosham camp. A thoroughly good time was had in the sunshine and we look forward to meeting up with FSSG again.
