MCC Summer Cruise Ramsgate to Dunkirk

Michele

Early start up at 6.15 to prep lunch. Juicy ham from a tin and the liquid was spilling over the chopping board, tasted considerably good. Started of well with a seal sighting just outside of Ramsgate harbour. Calm sea state, not much wind so motored most of the way. Yanmar running well all day. No sea sickness today. Got through the traffic separation scheme with no problems. Cheese and ham sandwhiches for lunch dipped in tomatoe soup. A few biscuits on route to keep the crew happy and sustained. Able to use Genoa for a few hours once through the TSS. 8 seal sightings in total and 1 fin along with lots of birds. Sunny weather in Dunkirk on arrival. Curry and rice for dinner with some sour dough bread and a well deserved beer. (Rice cooked in pressure cooker 10 mins once started to boil), followed by drinks on board Toucan. The plan was to spend the next day in Dunkirk then off to Belgium. Used 2/3 of tank of diesel since we left.
