The dawns' grey fingers heralded a bleak and murkey
Saturday morning. Overcast and damp, with a sullen NE slop.
As ususl, we have motored during the night to gain
easting. and have made good progress since I came on watch at
02.30.
At 08.00 PAVAN is now about 60 miles west of
Ushant, and about 100 miles SW of the Lizard. There is about 8/10 knots of wind
dead on the nose
David and I both have to be in our offices on
Monday, and there was nothing in the 04.00 forecast to suggest any wind to help
us get there.
Sadly, we have no real option other than to motor
into wind and towards Falmouth
Providing the wind and sea state do not deteriorate
further, we should be passed the Lizard light before midnight, and be in
Falmouth by 04.00 Sunday morning.
The smell of an English breakfast is becoming a
possibility............
