                    I’m glad you guys are ok and there’s always the positive of testing your comfort levels.  You can do it all over again in Sakura when you bring her home 🙂

                                      We made two major errors…

                                      1. We did not check the Met Office forecast and relied on windy.com....Bad move, windy.com gave us a very rosy picture of the days weather
                                      2. We did not notice the wave icons on the chart way down the channel, because we assumed the worst conditions would be at the narrowest part.  WRONG... We got through the narrows with hardly an issue, then we got to The Bridge (it's a buoy called Bridge, so the whole area is known as the bridge)...

                                        In a chat with @goosehd , I told him that today we will go home via the North Channel (an alternative route home.)…

                                        It’s called the north channel and is where a lot of the transatlantic races end, because, guess what, going past The Bridge is too dangerous 🤡🤡

                                            Wow sounds like a real test and a good lesson taken away from it. Today’s picture looks a lot more calm and enjoyable.
