Morning came with wind whistling in the rigging, an overcast sky, and a few spots of rain. If I had gone aground during the night, I certainly hadn’t felt it. The sound of the wind in the rigging was annoying me and if I were to stay here again tonight, it would only be worse. So I moved on. This time Pottery Pier west of Brownsea island. I arrived at about 11.00am and there was lots of space to anchor. As the day wore on, more boats arrived, mainly day trippers in small to medium motorboats. Lots of families with kids whizzing about in dinghies or swimming. Come the evening and the party boats arrived, loud music and laughter accompanied another nice sunset.
As darkness fell, most went home again and finally, at 10pm, there was a pretty impressive fireworks display over at Poole Quay
Time for bed.
