IJMUIDEN DARTMOUTH



We were lucky to have a fair breeze from the NE to bring the boat towards Plymouth. The wind was between 25 and 34 knots for over a day. Dead downwind, but still fast enough. At night I had a really terrible watch. Every light I saw was difficult in interpret. On top off that we managed to skirt the unlit windmill park off Margate. It was not on the latest map. Suddenly I saw a huge concrete structure at 90 degrees while sailing over 10 knots downwind. Scary stuff.
