Day
6 The
gribs from before we left have been just about spot on and we continue in
stately fashion averaging 6.8k with a steady 10-15kts from behind. The wind got
up a couple of knots and went further aft yesterday morning to steady the
rattling in the rig then stayed pretty constant all day with the shifts coming
more or less as predicted. We gybed around 9 o’clock last night and have
just now gybed back onto port. Still a wee bit rolly when it goes light,
but seas still only about 1.5m - nothing really. Looks as if we will have
more of the same with perhaps stronger winds between Lands End and Had
3 short beaked common dolphins come and ride our bow waves for a while.
We had a couple of fulmars playing around the boat most of the day. Position
