Rambler blog:

'A fun last 12 hours of sailing with an exceptional crew. We hooked into some good wind for the night and enjoyed some beautiful sailing - including our first view of the moon this trip and a couple of hours of great stars.

About 40 mins til we turn the corner at Lands End.. time to go to work. After finishing we still have 160 miles of sailing down the coast to Gosport where the boat will dock. '
