[weather] 20knts SE

[status] After motoring for 8 hours we picked up the SE breeze (10knts) that we hoped would propel us off the coast up to the back of the low that went through a few days earlier and is fairly slow moving.
Had to motor for 1 hour during the night but now tucked into a solid 20 Knt ( apparent) SE that is pushing along over a slightly lumpy sea at a good rate . Crayfish mournay pre cooked meal for our first night out at sea .
All is well - all are glad that the high behind us isn?t descending on us resulting in further motoring - in fact we probably will have a fresh wind for next few days
