Minka and I are now in Plymouth having sailed down
from the Solent via Poole where we stopped for two nights on the town
quay.
We have now left Plymouth en route to Coruna which
I am hoping will take about 4 days. So far everything is going well and we are
doing over 6kts with the wind on the beam. I am heading a bit west of my course
to keep out of the Ushant traffic.
Before I set off I fitted a second winch to the
starboard side of the mast so that I can haul up the spinnaker and code zero at
the mast.
I will start photos later but I think and hope this
is going to be a much duller trip than two years ago. The forecast is good but I
might get headed later. 410nm to go
