Boat owner again

[BartW]

yes, sea state looks OK on sat and sunday, and a following sea
be carefull around the cap south of Toulon, (St Mandriez)
can be nasty and demotivating to go ahead with the crossing,

good luck !

If you need to run for cover in the Gdl take a look at Port Leucate, it has a huge Port Technique and I can put you in touch with someone if you need mechanical assistance! We berthed there before we moved to SC this summer.
Hope you won't need it but will pm you my email address.

GDL done.

Just over 10 hours

 

[mparrish]

Well done. A good result !

 

[MapisM]

Sounds great, well done.
Did Seralia perform as nicely as her appearance suggests?
All the best for the rest of the trip!

 

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Thats great news. Where are you now and how did the boat go?

 

[Whitelighter]

In Palamos, Spain.

Bar a couple of little grumbles (really very very minor) the boat ran beautifully for the duration.

Fuse burn is a little higher than expected but not significantly so.

For the most part fine. Bit lumpy about 2/3rds of the way across but we were expecting that.

Seralia took the whole thing in her stride.

I think it means that the predictive texting on his smartphone f**ked up. I guess it means fuel burn

Well done guys, I bet the beer tested great when you got into port.

Will you do the remainder tomorrow? What is it 130NM or so?

 

[jimmy_the_builder]

Well done Jez and crew, that's good going. Wishing you safe passage for the remainder.
