Sailing Joia - A Rough Night

A Rough Night

Sailing Joia

Stuart Jackson

Thu 11 Apr 2024 22:28

Last night we had confused seas, rain and strong winds. JOIA and Rod continued to make great progress but it was not easy for the rest of the crew.
But today is calmer. We have been catching up on sleep and doing some laundry. Another beautiful day of sunshine and fair winds.
