Friday 04/09/20 @ 06.27 hrs. Arrived Oustreham at 06.15 hrs French time, sunrise is not for another hour. It is very overcast on the Channel. North West wind. Topped up all waters and as drivers had to have an eleven hour break, I decided to feed birds on dock before we continue to liberation point about 73 miles away.  We should arrive at liberation point around midday.  I have been in touch with agent and will update later today.
