Thursday 23rd September

Hello. We have had a great day today. We are all safe, clean and best of all nobody was sea sick (yet).



We have started our journey South today and have left Whitehaven bound for Piel Island, the wind has been light so most of the day has been spent motoring and the sea has gradually got calmer.


A quite odd thing happened today as we were sailing along the coast we were stopped by a man in a boat marked range safety who told us to stop because we were about to drive into a naval defense firing range who where in the process of firing at the sea, so we had to wait for 15 minutes until the barrage stopped. During that wait Colin was cooking up a storm in the kitchen with the results being the most delicious cookies. Then we continued our sail back to Piell Island. All in all we traveled over 40 miles in 8 hours on our way back to peil. When we arrived we saw seals and we think we saw a porpoise. And soon, due to a poor forecast for tomorrow, we will set sail for Glasson at night.

Ethan and John
