Didn't even get halfway, I'm afraid, as you can see here. After making fairly good time for the first few hours with light following winds, I hit fog and was becalmed for a while in the shipping lanes, and then the wind went round to light south-westerly and i was making very poor progress. My battery had died, and I was going to miss the tidal gate at le Four. Did not fancy the following tide through the race at night with no nav lights, so would have meant 24 hours delay. Weather was forecast to go back to light northeasterlies in the channel by Monday, so it became apparent that I could not make the round trip in the time available even if I left Brest very soon after arriving.
Could not make the north Brittany coast before dark, to get a new battery, so turned back at a point where I could hope to re-cross the shipping lane in daylight. Pottered about 20nm off Plymouth during the night and entered the Sound the following morning. All rather frustrating, but discretion being the better part of valour, I was very sorry to miss our meeting.
