On my way home

Stamper

Position at 10:47 UTC 1 July 2016: 50:07.87 N 004:44.47 W
True Wind 17 knots , from SW, Sea agitated.

Speed 5.9 knots. COG 088, engine on, seems to run OK.

Anneke made her own risk assesment of sailing in the English Channel with an engine that is not completely reliable. She decided the

risk was too great for her and flies back to Amsterdam today. I respect her choice, but do believe the risk is acceptable for me.

The main thing to take care of when sailing on my own in this busy shipping area is not getting too tired.

So far I can get short naps (5-10 minutes) that keep me in shape. Stamper is doing fine. Near the Solent I expect that I will need to drop anchor to get some decent sleep.
