Last night I was awoken by torrential rain to follow the deluge which engulfed us on Sunday. It's begrudgingly abating this morning. Jerry arrives tonight and tomorrow we push off towards Penzance and then round Lands End to Padstow where Dave should join us for the final passage to Portishead. With spring tides making the Bristol Channel currents even more powerful we need to carefully time our sail. I'd hate to get swept back into the Atlantic at this stage. The winds look favourable so this could be the last week. I'm getting ready for some Winster village life.
