We have now arrived at Dover after a good sail down the Thames to Queenborough and another good sail to the North Foreland before another vicious beat to windward into a Force 5 that sometimes touched 6. Even in this boat that is hard work so we motorsailed the last 2 hours. Now we are rocking around in the well sheltered Granville dock whilst a forecast Force 8 to 9 blows around us. There seems to be little improvement for the next day or 2 so we will stay here and do boat maintenance jobs. Surely this summer will have some calm Force 3 to 4 days left in it ????
