Day 1:

5am - set off from Burnham on Crouch and travelled through the Thames estuary and then around the corner through the Dover Straits to Dover marina.

South West Sunk swatchway was fun with the depth getting as shallow as 1.2m . But we were on an incoming tide so we knew we would float off if we touched (hopefully).

5 on board and we saw seals, dolphin/porpoises and even a sunfish.

Weather was calm with very little wind, so no sailing, the mainsail gave us a little help but not much.

By the end of the 70 mile day we were tired and in need of some food. Thats when we discovered the bilges full of water, luckily fresh, so we ripped the boat apart looking for the leak, sigh!
