Nancy Blackett left Dover today at 5:20am. The passage north was fast in generally good conditions, with a few rough patches, and allowed an unexpectedly early arrival home in Woolverstone at 5:30pm.

Our thanks go out to the volunteer skippers and crews who have enabled Nancy to participate in such a fantastic voyage this Summer, prevailing as ever over the unpredictable, sometimes challenging, but ultimately rewarding English seas and weather.
