Up till about 0400 this morning we were motor sailing in 8 knots of true wind, from then things have changed some what we have since 0600 being getting between 20 and mostly 30 knts+ form the north we have very little sail out and are reaching along at between 6 7 8 knots SOG keeping Wilhelm moving and reducing the overall pressure on the yacht. The weather looks like it may start to clear a little by very late
afternoon early evening, it difficult trying to do anything with 3/4 mtr seas
hitting our starboard aft quarter.
The Yacht is handling it reasonably well and we are all looking forward
to it dropping off in the next 6 to 12 hours.....fingers crossed.
Here’s to quieter Sailing
