What an awful night! High winds and torrential rain.
Columba was soaking this morning having spent the night in the cockpit but is
now happily drying out/sunbathing
We are three quarters the way there now and expect to be
in around midnight on Sunday. Bellone is sailing well under a full genoa and
three reefs in the main. She is steering a tighter course now that she seems to
be being pulled along by the genoa.
I've had to learn how to handle the sails alone and it
has done me a lot of good, as it makes you think more about the processes and
adaptations to help me do it.
During one of the rain episodes last night, Columba
wisely decided to put her lifejacket on, so I thought I'd better do the same.
After trying to find it, I asked Columba if she knew where it was. She looked at
me with despair in her eyes, and said, " You're wearing it, you
d******d!"
