We're not in good offshore shape.
We're not in good offshore shape.
To the rescue.
Only 750 miles offshore.
A departing view.
Making another rendezvous.
Hauling in yet more diesel.
Making difficult decisions.
Running repairs.
Everything is a mess.
More fixing.
Unstable air.
Rain and squalls.
Filling diesel is a daily chore.
Civilised dining.
Motoring conditions.
The jerry cans are piling up.
Its getting cold.
Jumpers and jackets.
Bored of motoring.
Our first Albatross.
It sets again.
Weather, WhatsApp and routings.
Perfect for the engine.
Fiona gets beginners luck.
We get another.
Nearly there.
Land comes into view.
Beaches and mountains everywhere.
Motoring the last miles.
So many diesel cans.
We feel overwhelming relief.
Just about legal.
Poor, poor Ruffian.
We try and repay some of our rescuers.
