The sailing from here to where we turned N for Lyme Regis doesn't get any better - nor does life!
even Peter stopped fiddling with the sump or whatever he always had his head into!
Go man go! (Lyme Bay)
We did have to pump rather a lot od seawater out ('or 'permp' as Peter called it)
We later turned in towards Lyme Regis for shelter as the weather turned foul and the starin on the yacht was too great to maintain course to Torquay.
