Flat calm, virtually no wind other than what an SOG of 10 plus knots made. Arrived in Cherbourg to find 120 boats were gathering for the start of the Drheam Cup ocean race on Sunday. Very busy, but we found a space. Lots of very serious race boats from 30ft to 70. The race is a qualifier for the Route du Rhum, Cherbourg to Guadoloup (or however you spell it).
