Hello world, we have had a fun time recently,
yesterday, lots of rain, thunder and lightning and strong winds, but thankfully
in small batchs of maybe an hour or so. Also had a visit by a couple of Orcas
(killer whales) and a pod of bottle nose dolphins, unfortunately I was asleep at
the time and missed them, but they were quite close and the Orcas are quite big
and the Dolphins much bigger than our usual ones.
The weather overnight was strange pretty light and
we motored for a couple of hours when the wind was below 4 knots, however a cold
front is coming through and we hac=ve 18 to 22 kn from the WSW which is making
sailing fast but not too comfortable, hoping it will go further to the North
during the rest of the day and then going NW and much lighter, which will give
us a break and enable us to get some sleep and a hot meal. After this
there is another cold front coming through but we are diving fast as quick as we
can and hope to be south of the worst of it.
Othre boats we aer in contact with have the same or
worse conditions but we are all hoping it will calm down soon!
