Motoring

Yesterday went from bad to worse, until died down completely this morning. Motoring while resting and sorting out the mess. The next couple of hundred miles is going to be rough. We're OK and boat is fine.

Gårsdagen var ille. Vinden døde i morges, og vi kjører motor, sover og spiser. Gjør klar stormseil og utstyr for de neste dagene. Det kommer til å bli tøft.
