Delivery Trip Stage 2 - Lagos to Las Palmas





Stage 2 of the delivery was carried out by :-


Stuart Chambers - Colossal show of eating 2 main courses!


Steve Atkinson - A tragic attempt at working the camera!

Ben Atkinson - Kicked the stow away bird over the side...he remains defiant!

Ollie Chambers - Threw the boat hook in dart like fashion straight over the side!

Picture says it all! Setting off from Lagos we expected wind and a solid sailing start to the trip. However, 1 tactical chunder and 3 night shifts later we motored through a swell with not a hint of breeze. Skipper Stu made various attempts to coax power from the sails, notably a lengthy 10 minute spell with the spinnaker pole and jib in 4 kts of wind...dire straits!

From nudist beaches to aggressive beach football we tried it all.

ARC to follow...
