01/07/08 Tuesday -- Thanks to Amble marina for offering us a 2 for 1 berthing fee last night. The boats are recovered, on the road, & heading home a
bit faster than normal!.
We completed 730 miles in 5 1/2 weeks, sailing for a total of 159 hrs; we had to use our outboards to motorsail for about half that time.
The longest trips were around 40 miles: from Kinlochbervie round Cape Wrath to Talmine, & Arbroath to Dunbar. In all, we visted 29 harbours or anchorages.
We sailed in conditions ranging from flat calm to gusts of a hairy F6, which is not bad going for small boats.
Thanks too to everyone who contacted us on the way round, & the many harbours who offered us completely free berthing. A special thank you to our
good friend, Ray Morris, for his wise advice & companionship on our journey.
Finally, thanks to Eleanor, my wife, for graciously putting up with my enforced absence, cutting the grass and killing spiders & moths all by herself...
I'll do a circumnavigation photo gallery when I've caught up with 6 weeks of other jobs!
That's it folks!
