The Nancy Blackett continues to take shelter in Dover from the strong winds, while the crew have taken advantage of the hospitality provided by the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club.

There may be a short window of opportunity to make a dash to Eastbourne on Wednesday, as the winds are expected to ease slightly then. However, the forecast is for stronger winds to return on Thursday and Friday, so even if Eastbourne can be reached this week, any further progress is unlikely to be made until next week.
