Well we set off this morning in lovely conditions and it has been sunny with a gentle breeze and fairly flat sea all day. At about noon (my steward never did bring cocktails!) we set the big reaching foresail. That lifted our speed by a couple of knots but it has been very slow all afternoon. Without the big sail I am sure we would have had to motor all day and quite apart from not having sufficient fuel, the noise is tiring. However I think we will be lucky to get through the night under sail - I shall get the next forecast after sending this.
