Awelina of Sweden - Sunday 14th May

Sunday 14th May

Awelina of Sweden

33:20.7N 40:34.7W

Quite a nice morning now on a run in WSW 5 - 6 after rather a rough, wet and windy previous 24 hours. Nothing too bad but big seas which occasionally broke over us and squalls to about 40 knots,

Rather short on sleep and bedding and clothing is a bit damp so this afternoon is probably to be spent airing things, but nothing seems to have been damaged. Dolphins playing around us and leaping out of the faces of big waves.
