Yesterday morning we dropped the mooring at 06:30 and were waved off by Kate, Andrew and Mum as we left Salcombe.
It is great to have Stephen and Melita Gordon with us for this first stage, to the Canaries.
Our crossing 90 miles south to Roscoff was straightforward, with lovely beam winds for a good part of the day. Fog cleared by the time we arrived at Roscoff at 10pm, guided in by lights from marker buoys. Rob did beautiful parking in the dark marina. The end of day 1 of Tintin's next big adventure : it felt great to be underway after many months of preparation
