		<description><![CDATA[Sydney to Hobart and back 2011/2 Already the events of the last 3 weeks are coalescing into a warm but fuzzy memory and I have only been off the Yacht for 3 hours.

		<description><![CDATA[RBI Log—-Final A murky Solent beckoned as Graham, Jim Paul and I slipped from Lymington at 0645 on Saturday 31st July.

		<title>Iromiguy ignominy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hurtling through the night, surfing down waves with the heavy weather spinnaker flying in 25 knots of wind is not everyone&#8217;s idea of fun, but if it is yours then the Eddystone race was superb. Andy and I checked our navigation; we were still south west of Portland Bill at 2300 and heading for home [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Second place in first race of the season Our first race of the season was to Cherbourg the second was back to Cowes.

		<description><![CDATA[Towards the Normandy Beaches (via Cherbourg!) You know how they say when sailing that you are always sailing towards, never to, your destination &#8211; well sometimes even that isn&#8217;t true. We left Lymington late on a very hot Friday afternoon for the cruise to the Normandy beaches, only to find that due to a combination [...]]]></description>
