Just a short one today. Things are not very comfortable here as we push towards Galapagos.
We turned west at 6am this morning and over the day the wind has been a real pain. As we have progressed it has turned more and more towards the west and it was forcing us to sail north-west.
The wind and swell have picked up and it is not a problem but it is far from comfortable.
We have tacked now and are sailing directly south again until the forecast southerly wind develops in about 12 hours.
This is the area of sea they call the doldrums!!!??
All aboard are fit and well but OVER beating into this lumpy sea.
