Headwind

Headwinds for the last twenty four hours have made it necessary to tack.  We've been sailing east for much of this time and a few hours ago tacked north. The wind from the north east has, for the moment, prevented us following the ideal great circle track to Oban.  We are currently south of that track.
 
The fresh fruit ran out a few days ago, but the tinned stuff is finishing off suppers very nicely now. Tinned custard was not a staple in Canadan supermarkets, so I'm saving the solitary tin of that for a particularly good day. 
 
The sun has just broken through the grey cloud and will hopefully make eating supper on deck a warmer option.
