Sally - Day after day over an ocean



On my watch last night, the moon was very bright and it gave shadows in the cockpit. When a squall was closing in from behind the boat, it looked as if there was a moon rain bow in the squall. When in Saint Lucia I will check if its possible.

Today was a squally day with a squall each hour or so and we have used the radar to try to see how intense they are and which track they will take. We got some rain and a lot of wind in some of them, 35.9 knots of wind and 12.6 knots of speed in a surf. It’s a great feeling when the wind and a wave pushes Sally forward.

We have tried reaching (wind from behind but from either side) to reduce the rolls and sail flapping. It works good but the speed did not increase to cover for the longer distance we sail. Today Carina decided that we must be in Saint Lucia before 17.00 on next Friday, so back to rolly sailing straight to Saint Lucia ;) Maybe we stand the rolls for tonight and will be back reaching tomorrow.

Good night
