Jubilate Mare - The Journey so far

Well the blog is now open and perhaps this is our chance to be the first at something! So here goes. We are currently on day seven of our Odyssey to St Lucia, taking a layover day in the Helford River in glorious Cornish sunshine and a warm easterly breeze.
We left Portishead (near Bristol) on 20th of May, with subsequent overnights at Cardiff, Combe Martin, Padstow, St Ives, Newlyn, and Helford. The wind gods have cooperated beautifully, allowing four days of glorious sailing down to St Ives, and then a flat calm day for us to motor round lands end.
The last two days however have provided F4-5 on the nose around The Lizard. Not quite as much fun.
Now on a buoy in the Helford River; the sunshine has been wonderful, with an opportunity to do a little deck-scrubbing and of course to sample the shoreside delights.
