Hello.       
 
The wind is back.
It is coming from the wrong direction, but anyway.
we are sailing again.
We have been motoring for the last 22 hours and there has been very little wind.
But now it is blowing again.
 
As we aproach the english chanel moore ships are starting to show also.
We have to stay alert. And we have been using the radar also.
Great tool!
Yesterday was a very misty, cloudy day and the sight was poor.
But with the radar we could easily detect ships that where fairly close to us yet we could not see them.
Feels good to have such a helpfull tool going in to one of the most heavily trafficed zones in the world.
 
The wind is going to stay easterly for a couple of days so we will see weather we go in to port or try to fight our way throgh the sound at Dover.
We´ll see.
 
Have a really nice weekend now.
And may the sun shine on you all.
