Jean Says: It's quite exciting to have got to Newlyn in good time and be a little yacht amongst a haven of fishing boats. This was our first important destination, and from here onwards we're entering unknown territory. Getting the timing right to go round Lands End is crucial. We need the tide to be going our way, and winds need to be moderate, especially if they are from the West, otherwise there would be a battle to avoid being blown towards the rocky lee shore. The coastline around Lands End is strewn with wrecks, but lots of them are from times when they didn't have decent weather forecasts or chartplotters. We thought that it would be somewhat exhausting to try to do this passage with just two of us, so we asked our sailing expert friend Alex if he'd like to accompany us. He's arriving late tomorrow, and we intend to set off for Milford Haven around Thursday lunchtime. Alex also just happens to know everything there is to know about engines!! The trip to MH. will take us around 22 hours from lunchtime on Thursday to mid morning on Friday, if all goes according to plan. There are few bolt holes on the way. The North Cornwall coast is very inhospitable apart from Padstow, which you can only enter at certain states of the tide. Other than that, if we need to take refuge anywhere, it's possible to anchor off Lundy Island. Being on watch over night will be a new experience for us. We've been told to work it to suit how each individual functions best. Apparently, I am nauseatingly chirpy very early in the morning just when Bob is at his worst, but Bob says he's not good late evening either, so it could be tricky. We're hoping that Alex is at his best all through the night so we can sneak off to bed as normal, and wake up in Milford Haven just like you would on Stenna Lines.
