Easter Rally to Lymington April 2022 (1)
Easter Rally in the Spring sunshine..............this felt more like summer! What a great Easter cruise to Lymington Berthon Marina. The unseasonal weather spoilt us with warm sunshine and very light winds, resulting in our engines doing all the work.

Lymington Rally 28-30th May 2016
