Amazing experience, well done Derek and glad to see you are safely home.

A really good sail starting with F4-5 on the beam. Later gusting to 24knts. Chose to hand steer some of the way because in these conditions  I’m better at it than the autohelm! Kept 2 reefs in the main and Genoa and still topped out at 7.3 knots through the water - hull speed. Gusty entering the Exe and furling the Genoa & dropping the main.  Thalmia back on swing mooring (picked up first go - phew!) 
So that’s some 8 weeks onboard (with 2 separate weeks held in port up plus just an odd day along the way) some lovely weather, sometimes without wind, nearly 1,000NM and lots of wonderful memories!

All good things must come to an end
