KALESSIN OF ORWELL IS A 33FT WESTERLY STORM. IN 2006-8 WE SAILED HER DOWN TO PORTUGAL, INTO THE MED, AND HOME THROUGH THE FRENCH CANALS. IN 2011 WE EXPLORED BALTIC GERMANY AND DENMARK. AFTER SAM'S STROKE WE CRUISED GENTLY ON THE EAST COAST, THE NETHERLANDS AND BRITTANY, AND IN 2021 SAILED TO CORNWALL AND BACK. IN 2024, FOLLOWING SAM'S DEATH, CAMILLA COMPLETED A MEMORIAL ROUND-BRITAIN CRUISE

I have just had a brief conversation with Him Outdoors. He is very cross and says "the whole thing has been a f***ing disaster". Which translated means, as far as I can see, that they sailed the whole way, 120 miles in around 28 hours, in great conditions, but when they arrived in the Golf de Fos they went the wrong way and arrived in the wrong marina, and in crossing to the right marina they went the wrong way again and blew the magic putty out of the holes.

Actually this is all my fault. I put their route into the chart plotter at Easter but because I didn't know at that stage which marina they would be going to, I only did the plot to the waypoint at the entrance to the Golf de Fos. Mea culpa.

I am quite glad they got to France without sinking, and I am sure we will have a more civilised conversation later...
