The guys currently dragging the #1 up through companionway steps. About to change from #2. Currently poled out with Full Main and Stay. Throw in the need to gybe shortly and you have a group of busy happy troops! Phil and Alice taking care of the nav. Doing a really good job.
Following the debrief on arrival Falmouth with Nelly’s passage planning and pilotage from Peter and Darren there was a request as to whether they would all have the opportunity to navigate and pilot. I explained that with plans to do a longer leg this would not likely be possible. After further discussion the option was presented to the group as to whether they would prefer a shorter number of longer legs or a larger number of shorter passages with pilotage back-to-back. They took a closed ballot and decided as a team they would prefer the shorter passages option.
The plan for the moment is: to Poole for a touch and go, then through the Solent turning South to Cherbourg (in one-side of the breakwater and out the other) and from there onwards and upwards.
