The grey
continues with spitting rain. We alter course a few more degrees South to try to keep the boat speed over
6 knots.
22:00
Wind has gone NE
still Force 4 which is not very helpful. We’re barely maintaining 6 knots. The
rain has stopped for the moment. No
stars. Hamish has moved into his
cabin.

The grey cocoon
continues to engulf us…it rained lightly off and on all night. Boat speed often
less then 6 knots. Wind is
slowly going back to ESE which is encouraging. Hopefully tomorrow we will have better
wind.
12:00
Still Grey, but
a lighter shade of grey and it’s not
raining. The Wind (or should
I say Zephyr) went back to ENE. The
24 hour run a disappointing 148 miles which may be a low end record which is
what happens if you average 6.1 knots. At least we’re not motoring. Norfolk is a little over 330 miles to go
so we should still get in Monday afternoon.
