We untied at 6.06 AM Sunday the 3rd of August and set sail for Falmouth 50:09.25N 5:03.95W

 

It was another long day slogging into the wind and all it did was rain. I am very tired and do not like it raining all the time one bit.

 

We did catch fish however, not sure what they are some say very big Gar fish either way we caught 2 and they feed 3 of us for dinner. They were caught on the lute I purchased last week in Lyme Regus so it at least it proves it work’s.

 

We are staying in Falmouth tonight because of further repairs required and some last minute provisioning. The shower pump died yesterday so I spent the evening fixing things once again. All good now though. More washing also. This is really the last major stop we will be making before we get to Spain so best to be prepared.

 

Off to bed now.
