Galeon Andalucia not showing on AIS so not sure where coming from…
Wind 8-10 knots but quite a left over swell from previous hours/day. Rain arrived almost straight away and visibility deteriorated. 
Raised mainsail and left 1 reef in as didn’t want to go too far out (already lost sight of Whitehaven and St Bees Head)
Sailed out at approx 3knots - no sight until decided to head back… Galeon spotted looming out of the mist! 
Went back ahead of Galeon but kept loosing it in the murk. 
Held off by harbour wall and re-entered marina on free flow ahead of Galeon (worried we would get locked out as they were closing gates straight after entry to preserve water) 
Very Atmospheric experience! 

Short trip out to meet Galeon Andalucia arriving at Whitehaven
