That's it. All done. Final destination - Portland

The forecast showed that we had a window to get all the way to Portland before Gales hit the south coast. As we made progress so the Gale warnings increased.
As we sailed across Lyme Bay the wind died & we motored for a couple of hours. After the calm came the beginning of the storm, well F5-6, so we tacked inshore to arrive at slack water off the bottom of Portland Bill. Once past the point the wind was on the nose & we motored up to the marina & tied up at 0200.

The long adventure is over. Rhumb Runner will now be put on the hard and sold, so I can look for another challenge.
