Looking to see where they are tonight, there's a bit of the Atlantic called Porcupine Plain! How funny is that, and why I wonder?

You can see them tacking back and fore, working their way up wind - I bet they are really pleased at the end of such a trip to have Easterlies!

My internet has only just been able to stream that news interview so I could watch it. Quite surreal seeing Allan on US TV. Looking nice and tanned there Allan as well as really happy!

Looks like a quick stop off in the Scillies before home. And why not?

Looks like they've made landfall in the Scillies already!

Just spoke to Allan on phone. Filled up with diesel and are now leaving the Scillies motoring for Dartmouth. ETA Sunday. Communications broke 1/2 way back, so he was not receiving the weather forecasts I've been sending. All well.

Simpleered, I thought they sailed from Cardiff, my mistake.

Spoke to Allan yesterday. He is looking forward to getting back to Cardiff & Chausey, as soon as he recovers from the massive hangover that he intends to purchase!

Well done Allan and John. You must have set a record for spending the least amount of time ashore during the trip.

Many thanks for all the good wishes. I will try to add some detail/comments on here in the near future. We are now back and I hope to be at the club on Friday, for the weekend. Hopefully I can buy Martin a few beers and have a beer/chat with Brian and Sue. Allan
