An unpleasant last 24 hours with a series of small spiteful squalls in an overcast sky. The sea continues to be a real pain pushing us around continually.

 

Had a bit of a hiatus yday when reefing for a squall and broke the 2nd batten pocket on the mast. Removed batten and continuing as before.

 

Sunnier now but still a lot of wind and rain about. All beginning to look fwd to the end which about 300nm away as of now.
