It's possible we had the slowest passage time but we deffo had the best steaming hot Bacon and Egg Butties. I know which I value more!

there's a theme here - I suspect we had the quickest passage but catering was a small flapjack and a can of coke on arrival! Originally Posted by Mark-1

ONOH it was definitely the worst sea conditions we encountered in that area so we might well have passed close.

Our passage seemed quite quick - we were doing 7-8 knots through the water most of the time - sometimes up into the 9's and hit 10.2 at one point - but we were bashing a bit of West bound tide - especially about 10 miles south of the Nab - and so our average SOG was just 7 knots over 77Nm from Cherbourg to West Pole (11 hours from dropping lines)

I guess we had the slowest passage time, 15 and a half hours but we were the smallest boat, muchroom risotto on the way over and tuna pasta neapolitan on the way back, chocolate mouse for pud, I also managed to get some knitting done!

Never mind the quality feel the width.
If enjoying it counts for anything I am top of the table.
Wish I was out there now.

I just thought it was some sort of initiation ceremony. I just assumed other first timers were being trussed up like a chicken as well.
Strange that by the time I had gnawed through the rope we had docked.
