After all the logistical nightmares of the last week, Richard and Cornelius finally made it to Newport on Wednesday night as planned. However Lidia hasn't made it here, but the resorceful girl has got herself a ticket to Halifax, Nova Scotia. So it is off to Canada and not Plymouth for us today.
It will be a pleasant and small or even insignificant diversion. Halifax lies as close to the great circle route as possible, so we will do no more distance, and hopefully reduce the longest time at sea to around 18 days.
E and M are slightly nonplussed. E wants to go back to England as soon as possible, while M is just generally nonplussed! E is however desperate to meet Lidia and have someone to take all her attention...
So last minute jobs this morning, a final stow and off to Canada, with a very light forecast.
