What would we do without Humphrey – he has helmed impeccably with following
winds and seas. We flew Red Passion for 17 hours in very light winds and
managed to keep our speed at over 5 knots. A wind shift and slight
course alteration saw Red Passion put to bed and main hoisted with full
genoa. We now have a reefed genoa as the wind is up and we currently have
120 miles to La Coruna. Seas are beautiful, dolphins alongside,
myriad stars at night – awesome.
