Next Step - Friday 6th December 2019



We woke up to big seas and winds gusting over 25 knots mixed with the occasional squally showers, exciting sailing. On the whole Dobby has been coping well with the conditions, only occasionally needing input from the crew to get back on track. Everything on board is getting a little damp with salt water from wet clothing etc. Throughout the morning and early afternoon we continued to get squalls coming over one after the other. At one point before the crew had an opportunity to reef the genoa we did get up to a dangerously fast speed. Jeremy made some delicious wraps for lunch using the remains of the fish we caught yesterday. In the late afternoon it looked like we would get a reprieve from the weather, but I am not too certain...! In the evening we decided that because we had a big lunch we would not need a cooked evening meal. On watch in the evening we had a couple of yachts come up on the AIS some distance away.
