Hi everyone,
At 1200 today we were at 35 09N 021 04W steering 130M, close reaching under single-reefed main and triple-furled yankee at 5 knots. Overcast. The wind was 9G14 from the ENE. Our noon to noon run by the log was 130nm.
Yesterday afternoon we sailed through a line of rain showers. On the E side the wind was more ENE than NE and its strength increased to 12G18. The seas gradually built on top of the 1.5m swells coming from at least two directions. We were sailing almost close hauiled and it was a wet ride.
Overnight the ENE winds continued with occasional light rain showers. The boat doesn't mind these conditions but it's uncomfortable for the crew. Healed with a lot of pitching and green water occasionally back to the dodger.
This morning conditions improved a little with a lower swell. The sky is overcast with one or two small breaks. The forecast says winds and seas will moderate gradually. Hopefully the sun will return too.
Trust all's well where you are.
