We started with a beam reach in a F3-4 building to a steady 4 until past La Corbiere lighthouse on SW Jersey. Then the wind built slowly to a F5 and then 6 as we neared Sark - various reefing levels along the way! But what a glorious sail we had. Then into the settled anchorage of Havre Gosselin off Sark for a delightful peaceful evening meal alfresco! This is why we do it!

Rough - 4-6’ waves at 3sec in the nose. Lots of green water over the deck

Tela set off at 0730 to safely get over the sill at Granville. beautiful sailing conditions of 15 knots of wind, close reach east of ile Chausey and Minquiers before turning to port along Jersey's south coast. Wind freshened to F5 gusting 6 on the way to Sark where, thankfully some available moorings off Havre Gosselin provided welcome secure respite.

Sailing from St Peter Port, Guernsey to St Cast in Brittany in a fairly steady F5 but occasional gust to 23knts. Good visibility was a plus big following seas not quite as good but quite manageable. Great to make the French coast in 2 day sails. Now to enjoy some culinary delights and fill the hold with wine and Ricard!!!

NNE wind gusting F6 meant big following seas ut Flo the Seafeather coped well. Three boats from SYC under reefed genoa and in Telas case a tiny but of main for balance took us past Jersey and West about the Minquier reef then toothed East of the huge windfall. a little apprehensive approaching the shallows with breaking waves but nothing worse than the Exe !! More fishing pots in the fairway though grr.
