Plymouth for stopover to Cowes. After a last beautifull sunset, a night succeeded with some motoring, putting jib number 3 up, sailing, changing jib #3 to number 4, putting 2 reefs in and shaking them out again. Busy night so to speak. In the morning we headed on our last leg straight to Plymouth. At moment of writing this last message to the blog, our ETA in Plymouth is 4PM. According to the tidal info, it is high tide at that point. Lucky us!
I, Roy, will be dropped of at the fuel berth with some luggage, leaving my major luggage on the boat for next week's training. Paul and Flavio (who fixed the toilet in the meantime!!!!! Hero!!!) will continue to Cowes a.s.a.p. I wish them all the best for the last leg of this trip. It was a pleasure sailing with these guys from the Azores to UK. For now, let's 'enjoy' AGAIN beating upwind for the last 50 Miles.
Till next time...and everybody, thanks for tracking our progress and showing your interest/worries during the trip. It was much appreciated by the crew.
cheers,
Roy
