After a quiet night tootling along with only a faint breeze, it's now blowing SW6-7, rough and wet.  Very difficult to type this!!
 
The wind is steadfastly blowing from the south west, light or strong, but always southwest.   I could do with a bit of NW or SE to get be back down south, but I don't want to tack at the moment and find myself going backwards.  Close windedness is a bit academic with a big sea running, it's impossible to point the boat high, you have to crack off and keep the power on to get through the waves.  I expect it will go round at some point.  Besides which I'm getting bored with port tack!
