Confused 3 - 4 metre seas, Course 280
Well there was a big twist then a fair amount of shouting
during our morning net as a rogue wave gave Balvenie a fair slapping
causing things to go into orbit inside the boat and cockpit. Luckily we
had the windward clear zipped down in the cockpit so it kept out most of the
water, and things were back to normal after a clean up.
The Northwest swell has arrived and combined with the
Northeast swell and wind direction to make a very messy sea so we are heavily
reefed down and taking it easy till things start to settle down again, hopefully
tonight. Looking like a very quiet New Years Eve onboard
Balvenie. Hope you all have more fun than we are
likely to!!
