Solent Sailing - Newtown Creek Anchoring Hole

[@Mark-ww9sb]

Nice video gents. I absolutely love Newtown Creek. One of my favourite spits on the planet. Thanks.

[@stephen6977]

I have been watching your sailing guide to the Solent and local watering holes with great amusement. Your relaxed attitude towards the fine art of passage planning has clearly been honed over many years. Frequent accusations of ‘running aground’ or snuggling the seabed as I think you have referred reassures me that on the occasion that I have checked the depth of water with my keel perfectly acceptable. My wife remains concerned about my sudden outburst of laughter and fails to understand why I find dirty ropes, lack of maintenance, toilets and losing valuable equipment over the side so amusing, which of course all sound familiar to many a yachts man. Oh! The arrival and depth of water!! 👍

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks for your comment Stephen. Your words make me itchy to get out there. Darn this virus. Hopefully not too much longer. Glad you enjoy and empathise with me. The dirty one. Or so he would have you believe. Such dreadful false accusations. Stay safe and hope you can get out soon.

[@stephen6977]

Cheers Dave, I don’t normally sail during the winter as like Andy the weather is usually appalling!! Hopefully back out soon.

[@stephen6977]

I wish, Cheshire, trailer sailer on Windermere, hope to bring it down to the Solent later this year 🤞

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

@@stephen6977 ahh that explains no winter sailing. Come say hello when you trail south.

[@mrsacuity8568]

Yay an episode to look forward to watching later and my fav place, Newtown Creek! I have lasagna cooking, a very nice Rioja and watch you two, great night , even though missing been on my boat Big 👍

Enjoy the evening Mrs A, Regards to Mr A. Don't giggle too much and spill your wine now.

Thanks fellas. You made my day. Will go out for a sail tomorrow . Lean over and say,"And what do you reckon Daves?" gary

👍 stay safe Gary and come knock on a cabin top when back in the UK

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches Thanks for taking some heat off me Gary, I have been on therapy since these guys have been having a go at me....😩😩😩😩Andy UK

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

@@AndyUK-Corrival sorry Andy but it doesn’t work like that. Gary doesn’t take half your flak, he gets a full portion of his own.

[@sailingbella7838]

Love watching your adventures, but can we have a bit more about the sailing, passage planning, entering your destination etc. Keep up the exploring and fun. We have stayed at Beaulieu, and love it there, can’t wait to sail back. Stay safe. Mark

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Certainly can SB. Thanks for the comment. Did that on most of the early ones. D

[@fionawinter2382]

Blimey guys what an episode- a new recipe from you both - and Jill, and a dop about in the Solent on a Winter day! Nice to see some sun in the UK . Gary sounds like hes the guy for you to invite on board for a sushi making lesson. Andy hope you have got out at some point this autumn? Dave I was very impressed at the chart table cover my husband says can I do that on our boat now... cheers, I dont get PBO over in USA what was article about ?

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Hi Fiona, nice to hear from you. The article was about these videos. Their digital editor lady is based in France and enjoys to watch to remind her of home. Bit like you guys maybe. Are you permanent or temporary Americans?

[@alanwearring-smith3248]

You guys should audition as “Top Gear on Waves.” Not sure Andy or Gary might approve, but they could become your “Stig!” And the “Lap” could be an on board global recipe challenge in all weathers, including Andy’s choppy water dishes. Keep up the happy banter guys!!!

Ha ha

Thats a genius idea

[@ChuckieEgg99]

"We made it together" 😂. Lovely day for some sailing! :)

[@chriscaton9450]

Nice video guys, I've been missing Newtown and this is the next best thing to being there! I took the sails off the boat as I thought we might be banned from sailing again, but it looks like I need to put them on again now. Hope to see you at Beaulieu soon.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Yes Chris, I was very surprised to hear that sailing was one of the official exercises. Bizarrely we are not supposed to work on our boats but we can sail them. So we'd better hope nothing goes mechanically wrong when we are out on the water :) Come say hello when next at Beaulieu.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches Yerah it was an unexpected WooHoo moment when we got the notification. makes sense in many ways fresh air exercise no other close contact

[@mikewinter3813]

Watching the Newtown creek video hope to be in the solent in summer maybee meet up

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

That would be nice Mike, let us know your movements in the summer. Look forward to it.

[@verynearlyaboutsailing8114]

Funnily enough I've only ever stopped off at Newtown Creek in the Winter and, like you, had the place almost to myself. But I've sailed past in the Summer and there are so many masts sticking up you think it could be a marina. It's a nice spot. Cheese toastie or cooked two course meal? Pretty much everything tastes better on a boat.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Good point, even a cheese toast tastes great on a boat. Hope all is well with you.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches Look I don't like the way you all belittle my generosity kindness and skattention to detail. It was a 3 cheese toastie crispy piping hot with that unique crispy flavoured pouter that tastes frankly divine

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Well guys, that was a disaster. I mean, I was all excited to see how this anchoring hole would turn out and you couldn’t swing a cat in it never mind an Elan.... Thank heavens for Gary, someone to share the flak with. I really can’t recall what I was doing on this particular day but as you say it certainly wasn’t sailing... Not been out since latest lockdown and sails have been serviced to hopefully I will get down soon but waiting for the weather to turn nasty as you know. Anyway, catching up so on to the next video.... Andy U.K.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Good to hear from you Andy. Bend those sails on and join us out there. D

[@simontaylor4873]

Great to see you out on the water, not much hope for me so doing the Yachtmaster Coastal theory instead 😂, stay safe 😎

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks Simon, hope the YM Theory goes well. A good exercise during lockdown.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches You could check and see if they give you any advice about how close to mooring buoys should you anchor; to avoid wrapping your chain round the morning chain. And then please email to Mr Rebbettes he's reasonably teachable

[@skookumjack]

Juno looking very shippy Dave! Mr O must be finding it hard to get picky when on board these days 😄.......

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

You’d think so Jack wouldn’t you. Not a chance. Stay safe.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha, sorry about the rugby comment SC. I agree with the sandwich comment but would rather you didn't compliment him so publicly. Good point about the S Coast. We both did Devon and Cornwall together this year but didn't take a camera. Next year for sure. Stay safe.

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches Hi there and thank you so much for the vote of confidence in the chess toastie. I think the Irish team are GGGrrreat. BTW I sailed with an old friend out of Galway Mike Kelly was the Commodore there. I can tell he want at all impressed with my helming of his boat downwind. Wonderful place
