Monday 30/05/11

1200UT Position 48:05.3N 08:26.5W

Distance run 1200 - 1200UT: 114NM

1200UT COG 080M, SOG 6.5kts, wind 330M 18kts (estimated - instrument unserviceable), baro 1015 rising

1200UT Temperatures: Air 18, Sea ?

Intention: to sail to France (Camaret 148NM)

After a slow down-wind sail in light airs and occasional reduced visibility yesterday afternoon and evening, the wind veered and increased overnight to NW 15 - 20 knots giving a fast white sail reach. The swell has reduced; the thick cloud cover started to clear mid morning and we are now enjoying bright sunshine, although rather cold. We expect to be in Camaret Marina (Port Vauban) by tomorrow afternoon.

Shipping traffic and fishing activity have increased as we approach Ushant and our AIS is proving its worth. There are also regular sightings of dolphins and a marked increase in phospherence in our wake overnight; a spotted right boot was also observed!

We are looking forward to showers and a meal ashore tomorrow.
