We made it! arrived in Cherbourg at 7pm last night. Had amazing conditions for the crossing-the wind steadily building to a nice F3/4 for most of the trip.
I thought we might get board but the trips to the chart table for the hourly plot seemed to come round very quickly. The shipping lanes weren't too busy but we slowed to let a couple pass. A few hours are spent crossing them so spotting ships is a good passtime.
We were clear of the lanes by 4 in time to concentrate on the Grand National on 5 live. Very surreal listening to Aintree with the French Coast looming up ahead.
Having a rest today. Strong winds here and will make a plan for tomorrow. Off to find some rost boeuf for lunch!
Having trouble uploading rest of route and position-will do if I can.--
