Nice to be back on the water after ages. I decided to have a go at sailing around Brownsea  Island - mission accomplished but it was hard work. I took out kit way to big for the conditions to make sure I got round and it turned out to be a full on blasting session! I think there are some fast spots north of Brownsea/studland side but was on my own and way overpowered so didnt hang around to test it out.
