Gliding down the A34/303/M3 ...we moved elegantly to the Port Hamble marina carpark...
Found our partners on mange tout at Foxtrot 27 followed by a very Viennese safety brief with intricate explanations before sashaying out of the marina cutting a swathe down the river.
Moonlit passe doble turns around the Reach buoy, there and back many times.
Bald head gained 11 points from Len "not a 7 - an 11!"
Searched for and found the elusive Town Quay with a new dance themed "jammed genny"
Ultimately tangoing to the quay left right left right arriving in at 11 bed by midnight.
Sunrise over Southampton showed a serene sea for us to strut out stuff...
A power station routine proved too shallow for us classy yachties so we walzted off to Wootton where we professionally handled some headbanger hysteria from Alan as he threw his Kensington Gore all over the floor, winning rapturous applause before we played ketchup all the way to Wootton
Then an illegal lift into the water allowed the manoverboard specialist technique scoring opportunity, of course carried out at speed.
A royal command performance was smartly executed by anchoring in Osborne Bat followed by unique 'blind dance' to the cardinal of Newtown creek before some slick sea stuff in overpowering tidal influences saw Tanya with a buoy off Yarmouth who was playing very hard to get. We sought refuge with a 3 step manoeuvre into our final position for the night before tripping the light fantastic to the Yarmouth yacht club extravaganza which gave us a useful stanza to reflect, compare and consume..commune. ....then our final thrust onto the Solent dance floor ..so, so far on this strictly Solent experience ..in our own sea view...how did we do? Brucie might say "didn't we do well!"
