Epiphany - Day 14





What a day! All day into a 25kts headwind and a very bumpy sea. It’s clearly not over till it’s over.

We are now 15 miles from Horta, can just about see it in the distance. Even motor sailing we will need to tack to get through this wind and sea. However all is well aboard and hoping to be in before dark.

Upwind

Up and down
Up and down
Up and down

Howl
The wind as it bites
Unrelenting on its way
Evil and full of anger

Up and down
Up and down
Up and down

Splash
A wave over the bow
Spray falling like rain
Horizontal bullets of sea and salt

Up and down
Up and down
Up and down

Swoosh
The deck a river
Submerged into the sea
Slowly draining away

Up and down
Up and down
Up and down

Thud
The hull crashes down
Into wave after wave
Losing speed all the time

Up and down
Up and down
Up and down
