All good things come to an end. This is the final part of the journey from Watchet in Somerset to Faversham in Kent. It was a wonderful extended slow (7 week, 550 mile) shakedown cruise. So now onto the next phase - getting Serenity ready for the Mediterra...

When the tide ebbs one side of Dungeness, the stream sets in one direction. When the tide floods on the other side of Dungeness, the stream sets in the same direction. No, I don't understand it either. The effect of this is to give me a lovely 10 hours o...

Two legs in this episode. Falmouth to Cawsand - a lovely anchorage in Plymouth Sound. A good night's sleep and a long lie in. Then a planned night sail aiming for Portland - just over 70 miles. And the wind? From the ridiculous to the ridiculous.
