10-days of excellent cruising

This is a very safe, well maintained, and comfortable yacht. Skipper Adam ensured the whole crew were involved in all aspects of the cruise, including discussions about the weather and itinerary. Despite very changeable weather, we clocked 8 days sailing and 2 "rest-days" (Brighton & Dover). "Endeavour" has a well protected (no spray) cockpit, a panoramic deck-saloon below, and a powerful engine to keep things going If needed (although the yacht sails very well without it!). If Colin is on board, you will also likely dine very well! Although we ate out several times, three on-board cooked meals a day (from Colin) was not unusual. In 10 days, I could get in to the galley (to cook) only once! Highly recommended!
