Next Step - Monday 9th December 2019



During the night the weather has been very much kinder and we have been making steady progress west. However, we are edging a bit too far south so it was time to do a bit of pole dancing and gybe the genoa. Not such an easy job when the boat is rolling around quite so much... a good workout for the day. In the afternoon it became necessary to take a further reef in the mainsail as the wind was getting up and 14.5 knots seemed a bit of a dangerous speed, even when you are surfing down a wave. For lunch David made us some very nice ham wraps and we had a binge on chocolate bars with our coffee, just because..! We have not done any fishing today so for supper Jeremy is going to make us all a bacon, mushroom and onion omelette. We have quite a few eggs that need to be used up before the end of the trip. As the evening went on the sea became more and more lumpy, it does not bode well for the night!
