replying to @JR_justJR @JR_justJR #pttravel I'm in Amesbury; it's raining for the first time in ages and I'm wondering how long it will be before anyone complains about the dismal weather we're having.?

Good evening #PTTravel. Joining you tonight from rural Bedfordshire, back ashore after the last few months harnessing the wind to travel around Europe by sailing ship.

FYI; I pretty much grew up in sailboats, and one highlight was the Marion Bermuda race I crewed in. It is life changing to see the ocean up close like that.
And it can be so fierce. A cruel mistress. #PTTravel (Photo Marion Mass harbor)

A1. I've just sailed from Esbjerg in Denmark to London on a tallship, but a side effect of the heatwave was the lack of wind, so we had to rely on the motor a bit more than usual @TallShipsRaces #tallships #pttravel
