A Challenging 300NM to Windward along the English Channel | Victoria 30 'IBIS' | Suffolk to Plymouth

I crew onboard 'Ibis' a Victoria 30 designed by Chuck Paine and owned by Skipper Ian Abbot. Ian was set to take part in this years Jester challenge to the Azores which starts from Plymouth. Keeping his boat on the east side of Britain this meant quite a long passage to get to the start point...so I offered some assistance. This is the passage from Lowestoft to Plymouth where we experience head winds and strong spring tides for the duration of the 5 day trip. #sailboating #sailing #sailingadventures #boating #sailingchannel https://jesterchallenge.org/    / @ianabbott751   https://www.portofdover.com/port-info... https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/revie...
