Sailing in one step from Amsterdam to Falmouth England

Took of from Six Haven at 11.15 Thursday morning, sailing through the Nord See canal to the end ,where the the big marina Ijmuiden was. We stoped and filled the thank with diesel for the long trip to Falmouth.
This was also needed, since we used the motor 39 hours on the total transfer of 76 hours one leg.
We had the wind from north east all the time, but some times during the night it calmed down to 2-3 m/s sow we started the engine.
I had heard many things about the British canal, all the trafik and the current against you up to 4-5 knots + foggy.  Well, this was not our deal. The British canal showed itself from a good side, and gave us back wind, not very big waves and no fogg before entering the harbour of Falmouth. So all together this nice trip.

Today we have been to a couple pubs, had a very nice dinner, and now we are back in the boat having a Irish coffe.

We are now checking up the weather forcast for the next few days, to make a safe trip over the bay of Biscaya.  Have a few things to fix and do with the boat before we leave ASAP.

Give you some pictures from the last 4 days.  That's right., at Six Haven we saw a Norwegian flag, so I went over to say hello. That was Skipper Tor and his friend Tom on the way around the world in a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49. They were very nice people, and we were invited for BBQ that night. We had plans to leave before checkout time at noon, but dicided to spend one more night in the company with them.  Tor was grilling  pork file at his gas grill on the rear of his boat. Tom had made the sauce, and it all tasted fantastic.
We got plenty to drink, and a Spanish trubadure playing
