On the beach ready to go
I had only used the dinghy with an outboard to go around a bit in Fareham Creek. It was a sheltered area with strong tides and I did not go to far. I decided to go further out to sea as I am confident enough in the dinghy to do so.
Its a different world to the Solent
I took her about 4nm along the coast and it was a lot of fun and the views of the coast line were stunning. I did put a wet suit on as the sea is not as warm in the winter.
Strong winter sun
I tried a bit of fishing with a hand line but, did not catch anything not even sea weed. I would like to bring an anchor next time and try a bit of rod fishing. But, unfortunately all my anchors are still in the UK.
Amazing coast line
I found the little 2hp outboard was ok just a tad slow in the sea. I would like to try a larger outboard and according to the sales material she will take up to a 4hp outboard. I would also like to see how she performs with a British Seagull Outboard.
Calm seas
A short clip of me motoring around need to sort the date out on my gopro
