to the UK - it has rained for the last 12 hours and
despite my 3 pairs of thermal trousers and 5 jumpers I was still cold whilst
doing my deck night shifts. Nonetheless I am indeed remembering that this
could be a whole lot worse - we could have no autohelm and we could be totally
headed by the wind...clouds and silver linings and all that.
at 5.15 on 27 June our position was
47:23N 14:46W - the wind is NW (19 degrees) and 17 knots.
Our COG is 064 degrees and the bearing to our
waypoint just outside Falmouth is 067 degrees, so looks like we could make
it on this tack - tick! Maintaining a speed of roughly 6 knots - could be a
bit better, but tick!
