St-Tropez around Giraglia Rock at the Southern tip of Corsica, and on to San Remo, Italy. Two-hundred-forty-five nautical miles. Dennis and Harry returned to Holland and Mike joined the Rolex crew.

Inadvertently (???) the race finish instructions were only in French – we got lost and with the help of others, finished 118 out of 226.
