Port watch are back on deck, it's 4.30 am and we are currently sailing 305o at 4.2 boat knots from Lands End to Seven Sisters.

The last 20 hours was a painfully slow sail from Lizard to Lands End. There were long periods where the only progress was made on account of a 2 knot tide.

Amongst the droll calm, we sighted a passing dolphin and later a seal was seen basking in the sun which beat down for the entire day.

Our lasagne dinner was served and as evening fell, the windspeed increased slightly and progress along the course has been made overnight - lack of strong wind aside!

So now we're heading for open water and the fastnet rock!
