I had two routes planned for the return to Santander.  As the weather was still damp and overcast the group elected to take the shortest.  Hence it only took us 59 minutes to get there.  As soon as we approached the coast the weather warmed and the skies cleared.

We were off the ferry by 10:15 BST and finally out of Plymouth by 10:55 with a mild air temperature of high 50s to low 60s.
