From 0800 UTC yesterday to 0800 UTC today we made 200 nM, that is NOT BAD. The fourth day gave 189 nM. Now speed is down to 6 to 7 kn, wind on the quarter 12 to 15 kn hopefully picking up later today. Last nights ride was rather bumpy and now and then the sea is rather confused. Sleep is so so but mood is very good. The most interest is now how to avoid all large patches of no wind. The forecast “promise “ gusts in the 35 to 40 kn range coming days are rather keen to avoid them as well. Sky is overcast but no rain or squalls yet.
Less Saragossa sea weed so now the lures are in, but have not lured any fish yet. 1115 nM to go.
