Yachts Far East Cruise

The plan is to head east for Littlehampton, Eastbourne and Brighton and avoid the busy Solent during August.  Either leaving Chichester in the afternoon or returning from Marchwood, the fleet will gather in Gosport on Sunday evening to take advantage of the tides at the Looe Channel on Monday morning.  Tuesday will be a lay-day in Littlehampton for visiting Arundel. Wednesday will be an early start [approx. 0600] to cross the bar at Littlehampton for the sail to Eastbourne.  Thursday will be a lay-day for visiting Beachy Head.  The itinerary includes stopping in Brighton on Friday and Saturday and then returning to the Solent [Gosport] on Sunday for Bank Holiday Monday back in Chichester. To avoid misunderstanding, limited shower facilities are available in Littlehampton and rafting may be expected in each location. The itinerary may of course be subject to change according to the weather.  Social arrangements will be included in the cruise details sent out during the preceding week and briefing will be at a drinks party on Sunday at 1800 in Gosport.
