Crispin

Light winds, did 4kn for ages in swell then motored then had to dock and dock again in La Rochelle. Amel Pontoon!

f2-4 only about 1.5hrs without engine. dodging wind farms. flock of racing pigeons landed on deck and Poppy made friends

Fast beam reach in f4-f5

Flat, 10kn, mizzen staysail up again, Genoa & mizzen. main blanketed mizzen staysail so ditched it. Poppy beat me at chess

Picked up fishing gear in entrance to Kernevel marina and hit dock f3-4, dead downwind at times with poles out, glorious with Genoa and code5

Beautiful flat sail in f3-4, sailed quite far into the bay

light winds downwind, so another massive motor schlep

2am start, midnight anchoring 😬

f3-f4, flat-slight, still fucking cold as fuck

Motoring into F3/f4 for 6 hrs
