It continued to be a windward and heeled ride into the Channel. We sighted first land at 8pm last night – 10 miles off Lizard Point – which brought out Rod Stewart’s Sailing piped on deck and a being home celebration.
This was shortly followed by a Coast Guard vessel questioning who, where from, where to, and why. Fortunately Tom spoke to the Coast Guard as Luis accent may have raised eyebrows
We escaped without boarding.
Fishing continues with only today remaining before Mark’s missed a bite for 3,500 miles. As we’re down to pasta and nibbles now would be a good time. At present speed Isis should enter the Solent by 7pm for the final 20 miles to Portsmouth.
The crew’s thoughts are to meeting family and friends; and a Friday night cold beer in Gunwarf.
