Andy Parritt - Quite honestly the hardest/worst passage I’ve ever done. 28hrs just 2 of us, head winds 2m swell Squalls, engine randomly cutting out, emptied at least 25 buckets out of the bilges. Arrived in dark no marina, no dingy no windless. Not eaten or drank much because so violent below, boat soaking. Clients arrive at 0900 tomorrow morning, we still have to clear customs../ You could write a book about it!!

Biscay in reasonable conditions then a 2 day wait in Roscoff to let storm blow through. Channel crossing long, headwinds, engine overheating (changed impeller), frustrating foul tides around Portland then 10kts through the Solent💪
