Voyage of Wanderingstar

Ben Bonnick

Fri 8 Jun 2018 11:23

It was a tough day in the office yesterday gusting 48-50 knots and big swells, but things are down to a more manageable level today with winds mid 30s. The main sail is back up, fully reefed and 1/3 front sail, 065 degrees bearing but speed down to. 2.6 knots.

I just about got the last bus home (the late night vomit bus from Bristol to Yate) but its a slow one.

The winds are North with an easterly component which is making me work hard to keep any reasonable speed or course but it should shift a touch further north during the day which will help. I've also noticed a big bad boy coming up from behind which is likely to hit the UK next Friday. I'll keep a watch!

I'm hanging in there by my finger tips…..
