For our final Nancy Blackett dispatch this week, able-seaman Sophie Neville writes:

“This morning all was quiet in Zeeland, where the thunder, lightning and high winds had passed.

“All was well with Nancy Blackett and her crew, who later returned safely to Middleburg after sailing up the Veerse Meer against Force 5 winds. Having reefed later in the day, we reached Middelburg at 5pm, ready to hand over tomorrow to another crew.”
