The night saw some water in the cockpit and a muffled scream from Heather as she grappled with steep waves, high speeds and gusts to 30 knots. By dawn the wind was moderating and soon it dwindled to almost nothing. We are still making progress at 3 knots with the genoa poled out and the main set with a preventer.
The wind is forecast to disappear and so it won’t be long before the engine goes on and most of the sails come down.
