July 4th - 11th, ~1200 nmi, straight downwind, 7days, very little motoring. An amazingly quick trip.
There was lots of food, fuel and water left over.
We actually did some handsteering for something to do.

Since it was downwind in dry, sunny weather, so why not? Otherwise, it was a normal trip, same watches, same menu, dolphins visited morning and night most days.
Falmouth Harbour and town were a beautiful sight when we arrived.
 |
| Gun Fort, (but King Harry's Castle sounds better) |
 |
| Pendennis Castle and HMCG station |
 |
| Beautiful countryside marred by large motor yacht Aquila. She required a pilot boat to go to and from the fuel dock, where several fuel trucks were also required. |
 |
| Another curious sight: an oil drilling ship |
Karl left us the next day. It was a short walk to the nearby train station. With a change to a Chunnel train in London, he was home in Paris for dinner that night... Thanks Karl!
