Over again
Time to report what has been going on these last few days: After arriving in Falmouth our two boat-bums made a long list of things to do and stuff to buy. The most expensive purchase was 6 new charts to take us down the W coast of France. Other jobs included packing a "grab bag" & tying the semi-inflated tender on deck - just in case.
It took a few days to get some reasonable weather, but Falmouth is a nice place to wait. We even treated ourselves to a bit of culture (!) in the form of a look around the Maritime Museum - the "survival" exhibition was good but all-in-all I think the cash would have been better spent on some nice fish n chips!
On Tues 22nd, at 0930, we slipped lines and pointed Vega1494 towards France. All went according to plan except for a small engine problem which cost us an hour or two early next morning (we had sailed most of the way but had had the engine ticking-over since there was a lot of traffic around during the night & I think we had picked up some weed around the prop) and , tired but happy, we tied up to a mooring buoy in L'Aberwrach after 24 hours and 106 miles!
