Poole to Weymouth

Again, we left fairly early and we were off Old Harry rocks at 08:00, with the engine on. Once we had rounded the headland at Durlston Bay we set a course to clear the Lulworth Range, and the wind came up from the North. We enjoyed a good sail into Weymouth Bay we were buzzed by an army helicopter.
There was a great deal of military vessels in the bay on exercise preparing for the Olympics. A rib came alongside and asked us to maintain our course.
We called Sister-in-law Jane's brother Nigel and he and Jill came down to the harbour to find us. We later went back to their house, with views of Portland Harbour, to use their washing machine, shower and have dinner.
We will be staying in Weymouth for a couple of days.
