Last night was rather busy, as the frontal system
passed over us. iLightening in the dark was interesting and the waves crests
glowed. The Yacht performed very well in a following sea. Waves 6 to 9 foot,
wind SW 40 + knots, polled out 1/3 gen. We were down wind. Hit 11.4 knots and
did 200 NM for the day.
We are glad we deflatted the dinghy and tied it on
the front deck, it would have been quite likely damaged if we had it on th
davits. some waves were reaching the outboard on the back rail.
The clonking from everything in the cupboards got
to be very annoying as we were going back and foward left right with the waves.
All the cupboards now have tea towels separating cups and plates to stop the
"click" "click" "click".
Family is all good , catching up with sleep
today and enjoying the blue sky. Seas are still confused and we have a 2 kt head
current so keeping the boat speed above
8kts. |
