Back to England
Arklow to Falmouth 35 hours non stop, 29 hours in heavy fog, so not much to see!
We set off coming out of Arklow at 130' for 5.3 nm and then 206 nm on 180' to Lands End.Then so many miles at 42' to take us past the lizard, and a slow creep across Falmouth bay for the last 6 nm into Falmouth. All in all 219 nm.

Overall a wonderful trip. ...
