Halfway! No mood for a party
Winds have been consistently overnight 30 Knots and we now have quite big
seas, It's pretty uncomfortable on Truant and not much sleep had by all.
Julius describes the boat as a 'Geordie lass with a kebab in one hand and
pint of brown ale in the other'.
We are still under staysail and small mainsail. The winds today are forecast
to increase to 35 to 40 Knots before moderating to 20/24knots tomorrow and
also clocking to the west. We spoke to a Finnish boat ahead we are closing
on, and they are expecting NE winds next week, we hope not.
