An eventful crossing! 04:00 exit over the sill at St Peter Port and after a brief sail it was motoring all the way. Unusually long passage as for some time we stood by another Fulmar with engine problems while a solution was found. After thunder storms off Guernsey however the weather turned fair and the sea state went from slight to smooth. Once back underway and under motor maintained 6knt SOG most of the way. Entered the Exe estuary and motored up river in the dark at mid ebb on a big spring tide (!!!) - tense and challenging but arrived safely on mooring with 2 torches in use and gladly with very competent crew. Gladly my Beta 28 did us proud!

Very early start and very late finish!
