London to Auckland

There are some who say that the Black Sea is always rough. I for one can not argue this point. We had a late start out of Tulcea due to the fuel pump opening time and the need to change dollars to kashushniks at the local money changer to pay for the fuel.

By the time we hit the Black Sea it was ready to hit us, and it did. It was a 1-2 meter brown(not black) slop and the wind was blowing quite strongly from the south east. As a consequence we plodded the 160km from Sulina to Constanta and made shelter at Port Tomis for the night.

New Record: First PWCs to transit the European Waterways from the North Sea to the Black Sea.
