Isis: Nearly there!

4 06 2010

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.
