The Nancy Blackett is once again at Gravesend this evening, only this time she is on her way home. Having left London today at 1:30PM, a short spell of motoring was followed by a nice sailing breeze, before the wind picked so much that the sails had to be taken down.

Arriving at Gravesend at 6PM, the hope is to make Brightlingsea tomorrow and to be back in Woolverstone on Thursday.
