Nancy Blackett and crew are now in Port Solent after an interesting day, particularly when they neared the America’s Cup fleet, and had to pass outside of an exclusion zone, although they did enjoy seeing the fleet passing by. They set off from Brighton at first light, and made good progress into the Solent.

The passage to Lymington tomorrow is looking like it may well be a wet one. One consolation is that sunshine is currently forecast for Saturday.
