Hello All,
 
Well we are here!
 
Sadie is safe and well in the Marina at Gran Tarajal amongst other Ocean-going yachts, compared with Mersea, you'd stick out if you didnt have a wind vane here!
 
A few statistics for you:
 
2,006 - The number of nautical miles travelled
405:25 - The number hours and minutes spent at sea (16 days, 21 hours and 15 minutes)
5.13 - our average speed (knots)
12.2 - the highest speed in knots seen on the GPS while surfing down a wave in the Bay of Biscay
1024 - the highest pressure recorded
1003 - the lowest pressure recorded
143nm - the greatest distance travelled over a 24 hour period
14nm - the greatest distance travelled over a 2 hour period
 
 
The last few days have allowed us time to clean up the boat, get some jobs sorted or prepared for on a return journey and organise our rather short and uneventful plane journey home.
 
We hope to get on the beach this afternoon when the jobs are all done :-)
 
As we understand it, the weather is just as good in the UK so we will be quite acclimitised by the time we return.
 
Thank you for all the supportive messages and sport updates, they have given us much amusement, encouragement and kept us upto date with the outside world.
 
We hope that you will continue to follow the progress for the next leg of the journey in November to the Carribean.
 
Until then,
 
~Sadie - Out~
