Crazy Shipping Lanes Sailing across English Channel L Aber Wrac’h to Plymouth - 111nm #7

111nm passage home to Plymouth. Started motoring slowly in fog, then motor sailing before there was enough wind to switch the engine off and sail slowly at 5knts.
The wind later built to 15/20knts giving us a fast sail home at 7knts to high 8knts, maxing out at 10.4 knots - our fastest sail yet on Clemency.
She was doing just what Finngulf had designed her to do, fast effortless sailing.
111nm over 17 hours, averaging 6.5 knts

Enjoyed your video but never saw any of the ships you mentioned at the start of the Crossing!

Unfortunately so focused on getting past them didn’t film at the time but the AIS plotter gave a good impression of numbers there was a constant stream travelling East and West with little gaps between so had to aim at the stern of the nearest and gun the engine to be clearer of the following sometimes they were 3 abreast

Very nice video. Looking for your advice. I am thinking of storing my sailboat in Plymouth next winter 23/24. What is the best place?
