First overnight passage with just the 2 of us was a success! Quite a bit of swell from the west after the weekend strom so not the most comfortable. Motor sailed with mizzen, jib and staysail. Broad reach/run majority of the way. Used the windvane for most of the overnight section. Tried, unsuccessfully, to calibrate the autohelm just outside of Portland Harbour.

Tried out the topsail flying jib for the first time! Nick Compton from Classic Boat magazine joined us to take photos. Very little wind, but sunny.
