Borrowing 250 litres of Diesel in Mid Atlantic - hard work but gratefully received


Taking a deep water dip 4500metres and as warm as a bathtub






















Getting nearer Bermuda - bit by bit!


















Please sir can we borrow some diesel??
They kindly donated 250 litres to us Thanks guys - we would have been another week getting to Bermuda without your help

Mid Atlantic with no wind
Interesting skies!!



Resting in the Azores - the other Cat is also being delivered by the same firm but its skipper had to return home and leave it there
This was a fifty seven ft cat we moved from Bordeaux to Annapolis. Big and a bit like sailing a brick.

These picture are in Bordeaux just before leaving down river to the sea - about 60miles




















































This cat was from LaRochelle to Zeebrugge. Here we're stuck in St Peters Port Guernsey with a net round the prop. Coincidently we also got fishing gear round the prop on the Cat we took to the US.
We cleared the one in the Atlantic - no cost. The one in St peters cost £180 for divers ( Health and Safety - we weren't allowed to dive to clear it!)
