Sadly, from time to time on a sail training voyage things don't work out smoothly on a trip and this was one occasion. After a significant amount of consultation the skipper took the decision that two crew members would need to leave Prolific.
It was decided that we would motor to Poole where the crew members could be collected by family and due to tides we needed to arrive before the ebb. A fast motor, more of an 'Italian tune' of the engine was made and we arrived in Poole in double quick time.

Following the departure of the two crew members the entire crew had some shore leave, an ice cream was enjoyed followed with a walk along the front before returning to Prolific to make supper, play some games and settling down for a film onboard.
