After purchasing my Fairline Targa 34, Fairplay, and a number of forays across the Solent in the past 12 months, the time had come to give her a decent blast. So, with 2 other powerboats, and a motley crew of Welsh lads, we planned a trip to St. Peter Port in Guernsey.
To spice things up a bit, the first night was spent at Poole Marina, then we met up with the other boats mid-channel, before tackling the Alderney race, and arriving Victoria Marina early afternoon.

Practising my passage planning, we departed the following day, leaving as late as clearance over the sill would allow, and for some variation, the return leg took us through the Swinge, then directly to the Needles. A brief stop in Yarmouth for lunch, before the last blast up the Solent and into Southampton.The weather was calm on both days, and I logged the weekend at 217 Nm.
