We've got wind

The wind has returned with a vengeance we'll not be
left wanting that is for sure!
It is coming directly from where we want to go so
we will be watching for little shifts in its direction to give us an advantage
as we tack down towards the Island. We are following a southerly track at the
moment to take advantage of westerly wind shifts we expect over night. This
track will also avoid the worst of the strong winds which would slow us down
considerably if we headed further west.
Nearly supper time now as we like to eat together
and then take it in turns for a little nap before the night watches of 2hrs on
and 2 off begin. Curry for me but Matt is still undecided - he'll soon make
his mind up when the aroma fills the cabin........
Cheers for now,
K & M x
