Hello from a very wet My Way,
Since our last cheery email we've been bashing into 25-30 knot headwinds and very steep 3 to 4 meter seas which are breaking over My Way every few seconds. The weather forecast before we left predicted light 5 - 10 knot breeze! My view forward from where I'm sitting typing this at the nav desk is obscured every 30 seconds by waves washing over the windows. Everything is damp and salty and the boat is bouncing around like some kind of mechanical bull gone mad. It's pretty uncomfortable and tiring but there's not much we can do but grin and bear it. Needless to say we're all pretty much ready to get there already. Our revised ETA is sometime late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
That's all folks,
Les Miserables on My Way
