We are doing a dissent progress.

COG: 241-245     // Basically, on straight line to Minorca
SOG:  ~6.6 knts   // Under conditions we are in, it is not bad.  With current wind ( nearly into the face ), and seas  ( about 0.7-1.2 m, which is a bit on a starboard nose... ) In short, we are beating alright...
WIND:  NNW, NW ( ~324 T ),  ~11-13 knts,.. Max gusts computer reports – 23.5knt ( apparent )
Distance to Minorca: 132nm...

 

The weather has been sunny.  But now some high clouds started to appear... Which – I guess normal – since there is a weather system somewhere, where the wind coming from...

For the beating – it is comfortable, I would say... Though... the boat is tilted, waves over deck, and the movements are in all possible directions...  You probably has to like boating to enjoy it...

Now the major question – how long those conditions will be going to last... And what is next...
My guess – it should be the calm area formed between Minorca and Sardinia, closer to the night...
But where exactly ?  Or, in other words – are me managed to be close enough to Minorca, not really get into it...

Everything is ok on board, and under control.
Talk later,
Michael.
