Here we are again after a 500nm round trip. We managed to get some emails on Tuesday and didn’t like the look of the future weather systems. Since our plans were to return to the UK at the end of the rally we were concerned about getting back at the appropriate time. After some discussion we were both in agreement that our best option was to return to Falmouth. We had a great sail back – best of our holiday so far! We really enjoyed meeting everyone and hope you all arrive safely and enjoy the rest of the rally. Our thanks to Nick and all the team for all their help and advice (we will get the yellow brick back to you somehow – possibly by coming to Cowes). We are now in a different spot in Falmouth, Falmouth Marina, a very interesting place to sail into in the dark!

Best wishes, John and Elspeth
