We left Heimaey after lunch yesterday in rather grey conditions but with a good WSW wind which has held up over night. We’re making good progress under windvane with a couple of reefs to maximise comfort – which is a bit in short supply. A long SW cross swell sees to that. However, all well on board and 393 nm miles to go to The Butt of Lewis.
