With the trade winds having been blowing for some days the waves are gradually getting larger. There is a moderate swell running and then the local wind builds its own waves and white horses, often in a different direction to the swell. All makes the sea very confused and makes the steering by the hydrovane quite difficult.
 
But it's hot, it's sunny and since we are all used to moving around the boat which is sometimes like a bucking bronco, life is really rather good.
An attempt to show the waves and the rolling. Sun glistening on the sea in Christine's wake.
