If its the trip i think it is , yes.
we came home based on a "Guapacast". it was a trip we never, ever, intend to repeat.
Oostende > Harwich in sub 10 hrs up to 40 kts S/W recorded, leaking foulies ,it was purgatory.

Been there done that
Had the "T" shirt
It started with daughter saying - dad that gust was 25 knts
Ssh Don't tell your mother ( she was down below hanging on & trying to read a book)
Dad its now 35 kts
Ssh Don't tell your mother
Dad its hit 45 kts
Ssh Don't tell your mother
From below--- " I b..y heard that . Get me off this b..y thing"
We were going to Bradwell but altered to Shotley where my crew deserted me faster than rats up a haystack
Still i think we are going again soon. Great place, next visit is No 57
