The Nancy Blackett has at last made it to the Solent. Calm weather meant the 70-mile trip was completed under power, having travelled non-stop from Dover to arrive today in Cowes in time for lunch at 2pm.
Nancy is spending tonight at the Hamble Point Marina, and will remain in the area for several days. She will be accepting visitors at Warsash on Saturday and Sunday, and sailing with pre-booked trips from Monday, weather permitting.
