Early start and wind was already blowing westerly 5 and a bit overcast set sail from inside the harbour. After a couple of hours the sun joined us which made for a very pleasant sail. The wind gods were very kind to us and managed to sail all the way to #4 PHM epic!

Keen to break out of Jersey having been stuck for 4 days conditions were very calm and no wind so a simple drive across to France. A bit of drizzle but thankfully the sun came out as we moored up 👍

Conditions started off quite nice SW4 then things got a little more spicy so 2nd reef. Then came the rain along with a squal decided we didn’t fancy 40nm so turned around

Early start at 0500 started off with a good NW’ly and made good passage for 5 hours until it vanished. Donkey on for a few hours got us past the shipping nicely though. Then breeze came back from the west so back sailing again. It of course died again a couple of hours later. A fun day!
