Title: and Goodbye to Dartmouth

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

Our position is 50:07.04N 03:44.78W

Started the day from Dartmouth with a SW forecast. Hoped just to make westerly progress along the English coast however, the winds veered westerly so we are close hauled in light winds heading for the Four Channel. Calm sea - very pleasant. Best time to Four 08.00 but that seems optimistic.

Report again at noon tomorrow.
