welcome back.im sure the southerlies helped! Now get some well earned rest!

The long trip back from Roscoff to Salcombe.

Bit of everything really.

I'm not mad keen on dead runs and suspect trimarans aren't either.  But the first 40 miles were goose winged (with the first 15 or so having a little motor assist). Triskelle isn't one of those multihulls who bamboozle normal folk by tacking downwind.

After some adjustments while crossing the ships coming out of the shipping lanes, the wind had shifted back a little more south westerly. And grown. I saw a 10.3 knots as we surfed down the side of a 3m wave. Lots of fun but I was hoping they wouldn't get any bigger. They didn't!

Then rain and drizzle for the last 20 miles that meant the night visibility getting into Salcombe was way more stressful than planned. And we didn't hold out much hope for getting a mooring as it was Salcombe Regatta week. But strangely that helped as we called up "Salcombe Harbour" at 22:30 and they replied! And then they gave us the lifeboats mooring (who we'd seen haring out as we came in).
