Here is the vid from the run to the boat show and back again, see: http://youtu.be/suX_jFfLsuw
I like Massive Attack's music and somehow seems so appropriate for this run, 800 miles in 3 days with a day messing about on the water at the show. The whitbread 60 experience was great - thank God for light winds cos the damn thing really took off on the slightest breeze. 6 knots speed limit was easily beaten, this racer will do 6 knots through the water with a 7 knot breeze and a max speed of 27 knots - which would have been more than fun and would have left a number of the swanky expensive power boats behind!
Both the Dartford and Severn bridges were impressive especially with the sun to my back. Also I do like Wiltshire, Britain's equivalent of the 'big sky' country. And if you are lucky the occasional Challenger Mk2 Tank! (not this time though.. boo!)
I think that is it for the British summer - 'twas the last big run before things start to be a little bit too cool and wet.
It's now autumn Baby!
Speak soon
