After a night/day of strong winds with giant waves the crew decided that sailing is cold, damp, uncomfortable and difficult! Bring on the sun and sangria!
Testing of the new sail configurations and wind vane continue with much more time spent taking sails in/out and zigzagging about then actually going forward! After getting soaked with waves breaking over the stern it was decided to pack things away (a bold trip to the bow to get the pole in) and just make the boat comfortable to allow the 2 crew to sleep and eat! Now we slowly glide into a much calmer night.
Many lessons were learned, half way celebrations were muted but spirits as ever remain high!
