....The weather forecast said we would get wind
between 12.00 and 15.00. At 12.30 we started to move and by 15.00 we were
sailing nicely. Then the wind carried on building to our first Atlantic gale,
only short lived, but still. This was followed by further shorter calms and more
depressions with force 8 plus wind - too much or not enough as
usual.
We are now sitting waiting for the current system
to pass so we can hitch a ride on its coat-tails, This time the forecast is for
good sailing for several days: we'll see!
We were also rewarded by a pilot whale cruising
alongside for a short while
