Tally ho

Finally it was time to leave Dartmouth and make our way south. We had some 300 miles to do by 30th June (11 days). 

At 5 miles an hour we could do it in 60 hours or two and a half days non stop, but with just two of us, it was not either a safe nor a desirable option. Besides, we wanted to see some of France and enjoy the trip.

A rough plan was to to do it in short day hops but first we had the 100 mile English Channel crossing with no options.

Time and tide wait for no man ( or woman), so our plan was to fill up the diesel tank and depart at midday. This would give us plenty of daylight to start and arrive in; always reluctant to enter a strange port in the dark.


Pauline made sure our mascots Maz and Taff were secure below before we set sail, as they had not crossed the Channel before and it was a long journey.
