We are going to Barbate…
The wind picked up a bit… But not my favourite direction — in order to stay on track, and to move, we have to be on the dead run… Main with stopper on the port side, yankee with pole — on the starboard… We are moving OK for now. But as night coming — we will see… I do not enjoy too much the fact that both sails are ‘nailed’, and my manoeuvrability is kind of limited….
On another hand, it is definitely much better to sail then the motor. And removing pole from the yankee would mean exactly that. But may be the wind will go down all together, or will turn magically in the right direction ?! We will see…
Everything is OK, overall we are a bit slower then expected, which is nothing new… ;-)
Talk to you soon,
M.
