Yet another contrasting day of halves. Yesterday afternoon grey and peeing down with rain all afternoon and early evening, and this morning brilliant sunshine.
Wind picked up a little yesterday to 10kts and managed to sail for a couple of hours but then it wnet astern again so motorsailing to keep up speed. Still have some wind astern today so maybe when I clear Brest I can sail again.
Had a swallow on board for a few minutes today and he looked like his wings were aching. A brief rest and he was off again.
Negotiated the Brittany fishing fleet just before dawn as they were out in force trawling the shelf.
