Slow, Slower, Slowest

Looking at Brest for two days now an for at least one
more day, your feel "slow", sometimes "slower" going to "slowst"?
The wind really dropped and Snelle Vliet is running to
the East as fast as possible. A strong easterly wind is predicted tomorrow
and want to go to Falmouth in one go from the French side.
We are going as close hauled as possble and doing tacks
in the windchanges to maximise the windshifts.
A explorer ship "Polarstar" passed us on port side
coming from South. This was the most excited thing that really happened
today.
The last pizza we had for lunch this afternoon, so time
to go home now. As I predicted to be in tomorrow, has to be
re-adjusted.
I won't give any more time frame as the wind is the only
one telling us when Snelle Vliet will get in.
Once we are at the Ouessant Traffic seperation zone,
it's 90 miles to Falmouth.
The barometric pressure is up, our spirits up and Snelle
Vliet "up to the finish".
Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Snelle Vliet,
