In port! We arrived around 9am after a cracking overnight sail doing 7.5 to 8 knots on a reach in calm seas. The Spirit of Blacklock (the Dutch boat which set out the same day as us) arrived last night, and Indigo (a HR 49) which was near us during the bad weather arrived only a couple of hours ahead, so all well with all our little convoy.

Customs and immigration are cleared and we’re now back in Europe and the EU: no more customs or immigration forms which will be a welcome change.

A trip to the recycling bins and probably a trip to the bar this evening and then an early night!
