Ben mor and back

Were so shattered when we got back that we didn't post. Made it safely home just as all the wind died and caroline and david jad to row us out into the sound. Spent the next few hours under pressure as the wind filled in and we had to reef and avoid other yachts in the dark. All went well until Duart where the wind died and we are now becalmed.
Massive kudos to David W for getting us up Ben Mor and passing a few teams along the way. We made a couple of beginner errors along the way but in the mental winds it was epic to just make it round. Winds gave problems on the boat too with plenty having to reset anchors.
Still, enjoying the peace now and might even get my first sleep of the race soon.
