Round Britain summary of the trip including costings

[Concerto]

I can’t understand why you skipped the entire Bristol Channel and just went from Milford to Padstow. Churning seas, no all-weather ports excluding maybe Cardiff, wild tides, sandbanks and rocks. Surely the most thrilling sailing in Britain. Allright I’ll get me coat.
Well done on a great circumnavigation and for keeping up the blog and videos.

Originally I had planned to visit Swansea, Cardiff and Lundy, but time considerations and weather forecasts decided otherwise. After leaving N Wales the conditions did not moderate as expected, then once round Lands End I was forced to stay in Newlyn longer than I wanted by strong SE winds.


This was the day before I left Newlyn. That spray was reaching 20 to 25m high, which takes a lot of wave power to do.

Even leaving Newlyn was not in conditions that most sailors would have departed and to save time I went straight to Brixham rather than Plymouth as I planned. No doubt you have watched the video of 6 Sept.
