Day 2 was quite difficult for the boys and the boat. Wind force 5/6 wave height 20' at times. Time for
crossing 9 hours at average speed 28 Knots including stops for food/repairs
etc. A great achievement. The starboard engine has worked loose causing some wear
to the securing bolts. Tomorrow BRP engineer will fix and make good with
additional bolts and plates. The Nav Light welding was ripped off by a rogue wave but
is still attached by the wire ! just. ETD 11th July 11:30am to Sligo - weather looking
favourable. ETA Sligo 21:00. |
