A beautiful clear day today, very cold north wind though. Walking down to the club to take down the Xmas decorations I noticed that the Isle of Wight looked somewhat different. It was of course covered in snow. The IOW is sixteen miles away at he nearest point and if the visibility is good you can see most of the island, but it is no more than a grey shadow on the horizon. Today however it looked like some distant mountain range glistening in the sun. 
A bit of excitement in the afternoon as the UK Border Agency Cutter HMC Seeker came charging into the bay. This was coupled with police activity on shore. The cutter hove to in the centre of the bay. I am now intrigued to find out what was going on. I publish the UK border agencies newsletter on the sailing club website. We should all be aware of what is going on around us and contact them should we see anything suspicious. Tel 0800 595000
