After some heavy weather over the last couple of days, routine is slowly
settling. We had our first hot food last night as the weather eased off. Chilli
and pasta was the best we could muster in the circumstances, with granola bar
for afters.
The weather seems to be developing a pattern of easing just before last
light, only to build into either a SW or NW force 6 gusting 7.The winds aren't
the issue, it’s the sea state that is created, with Serica only 26 foot at the
water line, the swell and breaking water spin her around, making the auto pilot
work very hard.
We’re hoping by saying south, then we should avoid most of the nasty
weather that is developing in the N, which is currently tracking East towards
UK.
We saw our first sighting of another yacht (60ft) last night, they were
heading to Antigua via Bermuda, close enough to give each other a wave before
sailing our separate ways.
