Good progress continues. Wind has backed (gone anticlockwise) as predicted,
now from SE. We gybed (put the stern of the boat through the wind) in the night
which requires careful methodical work because we have a complicated sail rig at
present, with running backstays deployed. All went without incident. We
should now be able to stay on the starboard tack until we reach NC in about four
days’ time if current wind forecast are accurate. Some
hope! |
