Another day, lots of squalls and lots of wind. Not
the most pleaseant sailing, but very fast. Had a line jam in the furler earlier
so we couldnt furl the genoa, found out just before a 35 knot squall hit, not
fun. Took an hour to sort that ot, then we gybed, since the wind had gone south
of east and it would take us to our planned position (waypoint). We took a while
working out all the ropes etc, then as soon as we gybed we needed to back again,
total time spent / lost was approx 2 hours. Currently the wind is a bit shifty
but its between 25 and 31 knots, bit full on, twoo reefs in the main and the
genoa half furled.
More anon.
