We have made good but hard progress since noon
yesterday, with favourable medium winds, but quite unpleasant seas. Geoff in
particular has suffered a little! Today the winds, as forcast, have decreased,
but it is raining, and still quite rough. I have been up on the fordeck gybing
about, fixing the poles, and getting generally tangled up in my tether. We are
waiting for today's forecast to see what the next three days have in store for
us, and therefore what our next destination will be. Our three course meal of 36
hours ago seems a distant memory, and once again we wonder what on earth we are
doing at this particular location. Not that we are alone, lots of trawlers and
comercial traffic to keep us on our toes, when we are not nodding off in our
bunks!
Richard and Geoff.
