Two more Medway day sails

Bit slack with the blog - here's a rather late catch-up for the record.

02 Feb: F3-5 SW, warm & sunny downwind, foresail only, Geoff & Ness on board.  The Log does not record how far we got.  Beat back with tide, reefed main & foresail, 25Kn gusts. Entry to the lock (Nic) was rather sideways due to tide, and assisted by rubber on lock side - shameful, but everyone's done it.

01 Mar: F3 WNW, cloudy sun, big HW.  A few boats out.  Got as far as the gas jetty.  GPS distance log reads 1,361 nm (in a shade under 2 years - we bought her on 04/04/12).  Entry to the lock (Lesley) in a cross tide was perfect.
