So it’s been a long day today starting with an early rise to check what time would be best to leave Salcombe…
Lifting the anchor certainly got rid of any cobwebs from the sleep. Josh rowed towards it against a strong headwind and I dangled over to drag the 38 metres of rope and 10 metres of chain.
We turned away and plotted a course straight at The Lizard. Rolling waves and a strong breeze (East, thankfully), saw us make good progress early another day. Turned beautiful and calmed down but not too much that we couldn’t continue our shift pattern of 90 on 90 off…. We’ve been doing that all day and plan to continue, make it into Penzance whenever we can and leave for The Irish Sea on Saturday at Midnight…. The southerly winds should start then and hopefully our luck will continue.
Thanks for your continued support… Sleep time now, I only have another 45 minutes…
