Brighton

The day started at 0500 with the alarm sounding. We had breakfast and were ready to leave at 0600. Locked out of the marina into a pleasant English Channel. Raised the sails and had a very good sail round Beachy Head. The wind died away. The motor went on... Then it overheated. Not seaweed in the strainer on this occasion, but a broken impeller. We replaced it: thanks to Alex for engineering advice and Brian for keeping watch on deck. We set off for Brighton. The wind got stronger and stronger. Yet again we were trying to get somewhere against wind and tide. Progress was slow, but finally we made it into Brighton Marina. The English Channel is proving to be the most challenging part of this trip.
