Taking Calsara to Kent for the winter - Leg 1/2

A very successful “delivery trip” - very calm, although no wind for sailing from the evening time. We did manage to get the cruising chute up for a little bit which was fun. And minor excitement in the middle of the night when we were approached by a warship and asked to make a course change in the middle of Lyme Bay due to an exclusion zone around the recently-downed Merlin helicopter. You can see the slight detour in our track!

Quick cheeky sail on September Sun

4kts of wind, reefed heavily obviously. Managed to make some sandwiches under sail, which was impressive. Didn’t get as far as a cup of tea, but did get a coke can with my name on it.
