Got off to a nice gentle start –left Horta
2.30. Had hoped to tippy toe round low systems crossing towards Ireland.Just
downloaded gribs there -and there is a big depression in Bay of Biscay when
we would be there heading for Ireland ( winds 35-40 knots) so we’ve
decided to divert to northern Spain-possibly La Corunna. That should take 5-6
days. At the moment we’re doing 6 knots in 15-20 knots of wind in
reasonable seas.All good on board. |
