Hello.
The wind is back.
It is coming from the wrong direction, but
anyway.
we are sailing again.
We have been motoring for the last 22 hours and
there has been very little wind.
But now it is blowing again.
As we aproach the english chanel moore ships are
starting to show also.
We have to stay alert. And we have been using the
radar also.
Great tool!
Yesterday was a very misty, cloudy day and the
sight was poor.
But with the radar we could easily detect ships
that where fairly close to us yet we could not see them.
Feels good to have such a helpfull tool going in to
one of the most heavily trafficed zones in the world.
The wind is going to stay easterly for a couple of
days so we will see weather we go in to port or try to fight our way throgh the
sound at Dover.
We´ll see.
Have a really nice weekend now.
And may the sun shine on you all.
