We made the crossing from Penzance to Cameret-sur Mer on Saturday, all but the last couple of miles under sail on a single tack, 125 miles in 23 hours. It is great to be on the south side of the Channel and to have swopped pasties for croissant's.
Paul Deakin, a very experienced sailor joined us for the trip and was a great help, we were very grateful as our other crew member Andy dropped out, unfortunately he was stuck on another boat, which had engine problems.
Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely sunny sail from Cameret-sur Mer to Brest, where we will spend the next couple of days due to wet and windy weather.
