Good news - ta.
Hope he doesn't mind me updating you on his behalf but, FP made it from Nieuwpoort to Hayling Island today and is now safely tied up on its home berth. Quite a trip for a 28 footer, some 160nm, well done.
9 hours.
165 nautical miles.
300 litres of Diesel.
4 Dolphins.
Four Twixes, three Mars Bars.
Somewhat tired, and I would still say that a "reasonable" distance to cover in one day is about 100Nm.
Nieuwport to Brighton was very flat: Brighton to Selsey Bill somewhat less so, but it was only the last couple of hours, and I had lost the plot by then anyway.
