Voyage of Wanderingstar

Wed 6 Jun 2018 11:48

Just a quick update…..Ive been caught up in some heavy weather, last night was not fun and at the moment I’m heading west to ensure I remain a comfortable distance from a further depression which fills tomorrow. Once this is out of the way it should be plain sailing back to Blighty.
