Lovely sail down to Peniche today. We had a good hour or so with the Gennaker up. It's very powerful - we put it up with 8knots of wind, by the time the wind built to 15 knots, it was sadly time to get it down. We were flying along at 9 knots on a flat sea. Later on we used the pole which greatly improved our comfort when running dead downwind.
Today we raced a French 46ft catamaran all the way - of course, we beat them in.
We are in the process of cooking roast chicken with all the trimmings. We'll find wifi tomorrow somewhere as we have some great shots!
