We left Studland Bay at around 7.00am for Lymington, to catch the assisting tidal stream through Hurst Spit, the journey took a very quick 4.5 hours for 18 miles.
We heard a very strange Mayday call with a yacht coming back from France announcing that the skipper’s wife had been lost overboard. As the emergency services on both sides of the channel engaged he suddenly remembered that she had not been on the boat when they set sail and cancelled the Mayday. Odd to say the least.
At Lymington we refuelled after we had been beaten to the fuel pontoon by a cheeky cabin cruiser who just queue jumped. Increased the difficulty for us, as the area around the fuel pontoon is very tight with boats. However we were up for the challenge and navigated it with no problem.
Overall we completed 1883 miles over the 6 weeks and one day! Quite an adventure…
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog-quite an adventure!
