2026, months after the Fastnet, another call from the same skipper: storage units in Southampton to sort, and gear to move across the Channel. Short notice, from the other side of the Atlantic.
Fredericton to London, rail to Southampton, the units sorted and consolidated into three oversized suitcases. Portsmouth, ferry to Ouistreham, Caen, Cherbourg, handoff. Three hours later he was on a bus home.
Door to door: five days.
