Its the middle of the night. I have just changed back to fully reefed main and genoa - again. Sea state rough. I am glad their doesn't seem to be any fishermen or anyone else about. Every hour I check the AIS and visual then I go below set my time on my phone and have a nap. Its so frustrating that the forecast wind was exactly opposite. I have been close hauled for two days now its very heavy going and the boat is in a mess down below since its difficult to keep your feet, anything loose has just gone flying...looking forward to sunny Spain !
