BLISS!
It was blowing around 10 knots, and we were making over 3 knots through the water.
For a magic half hour we just trickled along - the familiar old sound of bubbles coming into the cabins below. Rose looked all tranquil with Nina on her knee in the companionway and after a few moments, to my surprise, said "shall we go round again?" (referring to our previous two year round UK voyage in our previous boat)
If it could always be like that it would be wonderful.
Sails furled, engine on, about-face - chugged back into the Dart and straight up river to The Ferryboat Inn for a celebratory lunch and obligatory pint of cider.
