We’re Back!
Sorry for the delay in posting this – we were without
internet connectivity for 5 days, and then so busy unloading the boat and doing
house maintenance that I was not able to put it all together.
We are now back home, and Petillant is back in her berth in
Port Medoc, after a great sail down from Milford Haven. After 4 months of heavy seas, adverse winds, and
rain, we got a great weather window and rode it south.

We left Milford Haven at 0600 on August 31, with the sun
coming up brightly, and the tide behind us.
The conditions were quite good, with the wind from the WNW at about 12
kts. Once we turned the corner in MH to
the south, we hoisted the sails, and off we went.
