We passed the Greenwich meridian

now sailing in the east hemisphere of our planet
Tres Hombres will pass the Dover strait in the evening
To celebrate our arrival in the north see
The weather forecast send us a gale warning
7 Beaufort south west, to sail hard to Den Helder
This night, we’ll make great speed
This is lucky weather, we are on the last pindakass pot
Enjoying our last days sailing before a new departure

Greetings from the Channel

Francois
