After a swift sail from Nieuwpoort in a North Westerly force 4, we got into our slip at the Mercator Marina. A few friends and family joined in our welcome home meal of Zeeuwse mosselen (mussels) with Belgian fries.
We finally covered 12600 Nautical Miles in 360 days. We sailed non-stop for about 100 days and we did about 3500 Miles over the shortest distance of 9000 NM as originally projected. The highest sustained wind we got was 26 knots and the highest wind gust was 34 knots. This means we evaded all gales in a one year trip, which is one of the aims of my weather routing.
We're all very happy to be back. Thanks for all the encouraging e-mails, comments, messages we got from you, all our friends and relatives!
