Quick update as we have been making great headway in this marvellous High pressure system which has brought moderate wind and very calm conditions so we have sailed, motored and motorsailed!! By this I mean if the wind is very light we leave up the head sail to motor as the boat is more stable.
Here is a summary of our last week.
Lundy to Padstow (Rough conditions)
Padstow to St. Ives 34nm (calm conditions began to take affect)
St. Ives around Lands End inside Longships light house to Newlyn 30nm. Left at 0430 to get correct tidal gate. Visted St. Micheal’s Mount later in the day. Very emotional day to reach such a significant point.
Newlyn to Fowey 50nm
Fowey to Salcombe 39nm
Salcombe to Lyme Regis 50nm
Lyme Regis to Yarmouth 63nm (rounded Portland Bill by the inner route to avoid the strong race which produces very confused sea. Lovely to pass another significant headland and marker. Also passed the Needles into the Isle of White.
Today we hope to reach one of the South Coast seaside resorts. Possibly Shoreham/ Brighton or Newhaven.
