Weymouth 100, 3-6 July

This rally was something of a reprise of one I attended several years ago with Daisy II.  On that occasion, we were celebrating the Golden Jubilee of Drascombes.  On this occasion, rather more poignantly, we were paying tribute to the late Sharon Geary Harwood who had organised that previous event.

On this occasion, roughly 25 boats attended, including two Deben Luggers.  The forecast for the Saturday and Sunday wasn't promising, but the Friday afforded the opportunity for a wonderful sail along the Jurassic Coast - a return trip to Durdle Door.

I put together this video clip of the whole weekend, including my walk around Portland Island on the Saturday, when it transpired that the wind would be too strong for safe sailing.
