Great sailing last night as the wind gradually built in strength and sails were reduced accordingly. Good speeds which are making tomorrow morning arrival very likely.
At the moment we are seeing a lot of plus 8 on the sog as we power along with quarter furled jib and 2nd reef mainsail. Seas at increasing as one would expect, hoping they stay reasonable, I really don?t want to have to clean the compressor locker again!
Should be our last day and night at sea and it?s going to be quite a rough one! We will start using some of that easting later as the wind and waves build.
