Charlie again. Just had a quick satellite phone call from Maymio:

The journey has been good so far. They have seen strong winds the last 2 days. Although they haven’t met any other boats they have met some pilot wales and dolphins (with apparent video proof.. we shall see!). After 2 years of sun it’s going to be a bit of a shock to the system to be experiencing our ‘summer’!

170 miles from Benodet.. Due to arrive tomorrow afternoon.
