Passage planning is one of the critical tasks to be performed with due diligence and maximum care. On our next leg from Cherbourg to Roscoff we will pass through the Alderney Race, an area with extreme currents. Weather and hourly timing are more crucial than ever for a “smooth” voyage through this passage to ensure a positive experience at sea.

Banc des Langoustiers has also been highlighted by fellow sailor Jan from SY Rare Breed to keep distance and good lookout as increased number of fishing vessels from France and UK can be expected in this area.

I look forward to this experience, which is very much in line with our mission: ”The mission will focus on going with the wind while enjoying time and its moments over and over again in constantly changing nature. The moment – and not the journey – will be the reward.”

We will throw the lines today at 2pm to fly with the tides…

Fair winds…
