Thursday 1 September at 1900. Position
49:39.87N 4:50.53W
A great start to the trip averaging 6.3 kts but
unfortunately the wind has dropped and the tide gone against us so we are down
to a water speed of 4.5kts which with adverse tide is giving 3 kts over the
ground. There has a been a little bit of commercial traffic which has been well
behaved.The sea has gone very flat so I have taken the opportunity to download
some pictures from my phone. I am only including one as I haven't quite got into
using the sputnik phone.
![]() Leaving Poole harbour.
The tide should go with us again at about 2200.
Just about to heat up some home made soup in my new
microwave.........
