hello friends out there!
the trip from harwich to dover was a lot smoother than the passage, after a short period of no wind it increased to bft 5 from behind and with the current from behind as well sailing butterfly we came there quite fast.
we only had to discover that there are windparks now which did not exist when our charts were printed...
the following day we left dover and headed for an anchoring place in the bay between folkestone and dungeness for some fishing. the fishing was successful anchoring wasn't. in a mixture of bad luck and stupidity we lost our anchor: during the night the wind increased from bft 5 to 7 and the waves became quite high as well. the place was less sheltered than we thought...
with the boat banging in the chain with every wave a shackle between chain and anchor broke in the early morning. we found ourselves drifting and decided to go back to dover on the jib.
there we learned that with strong winds from the south/ south-west entering this harbour is not funny. these were the biggest waves i've ever seen.
