We are still having problems with wind and have been on engine for 24 of the past 36 hours. When we sail it is pleasant. We are feeding ourselves properly and apart from towing a Tesco along mainly for fuel were ok.
We are continually falling behind. This is frustrating especially as we may have to stop fore fuel at La Coruna before crossing the Bay.
Yesterday we had a massive oil tanker change course because has to give way to sail. Managed to say hello and thank the captain. Yes me and the crew are gentlemen.
Right back to steering the ship on the graveyard shift.
Over and out for now.
