A great full day practicing mooring and MOB maneuvers. MOB under sail. Also anchored under sail for a nice final lunch. Light winds from the NE, full sun. A great way to end an action packed week

La Maddalena back to Cannigioni. Lots of MOB practice in light winds and full sun

NE 15-20kts, full sun. Close reach as we crossed the straits of Bonifacio, heading back to Sardinia.

N / NW wind, 7 kts Full sun

Exciting day! Full sun, 15-20 knots on a close reach almost all day. A little motor / sailing until the engine died. Overheard my first Pan-Pan. Approached the marina under sail, a few tacks, then the engine started but died just at the marina entry. A little worry as we were drifting for the jetty, dropped anchor and it held then towed to the pontoon at 11pm. A big day! And that, concludes this delivery. About 20 nm short of our destination, but close enough. 😅 A great trip!

Heavy seas leaving Camaret, as we crossed the bay. Running with the tide and the wind, around the point with le Phare Saint-Mathieu at our side. Double reefed Genoa only and we made 8.2 knots. Continued with the wind and tide all day. Max speed 11.4 knots, with sustained 31 knot wind gust. A long rough day, cold and windy with lots of rain. A typical day in Brittany I’m told.

4am departure to reach the tidal gate at Pointe du Rez at 13:00. No wind but made 9 knots running with the tide, rounded the point and sailed with light winds across the Celtic Sea. Quite the dramatic day!

6am departure, 3 hrs watch rotation. Sailed downwind all day with a tidal current up to 6 knots. Sun, wind, rain and some rainbows.
