Really enjoying your videos! We are planning a similar voyage this spring and I wondered if your schedule required you to motor to Ramsgate in that swell or could you have waited for better weather? I’m hoping to minimize motoring but I know that can be tough!
Hi Dale, We had a schedule and anticipated arrival of some bad weather, therefore took the decision to get to Ramsgate ahead of it. That decision gave us chance to wait out the storm and carry out repairs and so on before crossing the channel to France. I'm all for minimising use of the engine and that's why I love sailing - however sometimes it's just necessary. I hope your passage along the south coast favours sailing for you. Thanks for watching.

Good video. Could you include a map of your course so I can get an idea of your route, I don’t know the south of England. Remember you’re try to tell a story to keep me interested. Your music was weird.
Thank you for watching Andrew. I’ll include a map in the next episode, I’m glad you asked. Re the music - was all of it weird, or just one track> Interested to hear. JnS.
Terrific Video. More maps please.
Thank you Patrick. I’ll include maps in the next episode - glad you asked. JnS. X
