They have just arrived in Kiel after 8hrs and 220miles.
They haven't broken much and all crew are still talking and in good spirits.

Eventful trip so far, although not on target, still making good progress. Just fueling the crew at a marina opposite the Kiel canal entrance and hope to enter later today - having left Gothenberg at 3am this morning

Sounds like too good a night in Goteborg - those languid blondes can be very persuasive.

Whats been eventful? Well, the Kattegat was just like the Solent. Sloppy and 'orrible yet flat calm in places. The differences were the baking sunshines, the friendly waves from raggies & motoring cones everywhere

More from the front when we have better connectivity. Got some great photos of Solitaire's new busines...

Will have to wait until we can offload piccies. Sat in Borkum at the moment as the weather made the passage from Nordeney to Den Helder a mite uncomfortable. Seaweed on the windscreen and covers! Boat handling superbly as is crew.

Beer here is very nice, but internet access isn't great so no piccies yet.

Cheers,
Rick

Brilliant, Glad you are all getting on ok.

I have no idea where you are, so I'm going to go and look it up on Google maps.

Keep the updates coming.

Cheers

Al.
