We were most impressed with the speed and efficiency of the Yanmar dealers in Cuxhaven plus some help from the riggers to mend a broken life-line. After a top-up of diesel and water,we left at 13.00 and through the lifting bridge again.
We have just arrived in Dover after 48 hours, non-stop sailing through 2 nights to arrive back in Blighty Hurrah! The 1st 24 hours was under engine with very little wind but the past 24 hours has seen variable winds and rolling seas. We had very little opportunity to post blogs during that time, as we were too far away from land, so hopefully you all knew where Nightfall was due to the AIS tracer?
With regret we did not stop in any of the Fresian Islands or Holland, not wanting to lose any time with favourable winds.
So here we are, very tired and gasping for beer and showers!
Graham Eggleton and wife, Sue have just arrived to say hello. Our 1st social visitors. So that’s all for now,
Karen, Eddi, and Tom. (Tim Devlin has just jumped ship)
