Title: Slipped Plymouth

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

50:14.88N 4:14.5W

After a manic 24 hours of boat preparation we've slipped Plymouth and we're sailing at about 7 knots towards Ushant.

We've just had dinner (thanks Kath!) and we're settling into watches now. Wind is about 14 knots from the east so the boat is unusually comfortable, fast and dry.

Stay tuned...
