We are off Matt cast off at 6.15 a.m. Wind speed force 2 - a bit better than force 8 of yesterday. Beautiful sunrise. Heading east to Cowes and then south passed Bembridge across la Manche to le Havre. Estimated journey time 12-14 hours. Now time to work out how to get oven on to make sausage/bacon sandwiches for breakfast.

  1. What a beautiful sunrise! Wish we were there with you all, what an adventure. (finally worked out how to use this modern technology!) Safe crossing, hope the wind speed stays at 2 and you find where you are going.....

  2. Hi there. So glad you were able to get off on schedule and hope you had a smooth crossing.
    Also hope you have worked out the cooker otherwise there may be the first mutiny!
    Nothing much to report here, I have been at work but at least the weather forecast is reasonable for the w/e. Lots of love to Captain and crew, not sure who what! Sue and Andy x

  3. I sent you a "Bon Voyage" by old fashioned email on Friday before I realised you had already left. Sounds like a booze cruise in reverse! It was extremely windy here yesterday (Saturday) so hope you were safely arrived across the water by then. I have set up a gmail account to do this and it seems there are 714 people with the my name already registered with Google!
    Is it just the four of you? When do you expect to reach Paris? (Are we allowed to ask questions - not sure of Blog etiquette?) Lots of love Sinclair and Stephanie
