Rough rough rough, that’s the only way to describe the sea state over the past 24hrs, the wind has been between 20 and 30knts and is driving a large swell.

Magnums motion is pretty uncomfortable, but she is happily heading westwards with our windvane steering and little user input required. Speeds have been good which is always good for moral.

Oh and Amanda made some delicious rock cakes with cranberries and white choc chips, even better for moral

 

The weather files show a strong patch of wind today (sunday) the easing overnight into monday when they will hopefully follow the same script I working with and moderate slightly!

 

All is good on board, had a visit from a flying fish last night which landed in the cockpit, only about 8 inches long and dead as a dead thing by the time we found it. Burial at sea was a sombre moment.
