Northern Light II - Tuesday 7th November

What a day and night……. Strong winds , big waves meant it was a very tough night for those on watch and also for those trying to sleep - it was almost impossible. Sarah and I tried to sleep in our cabin but we were either thrown in the air or against the lee clothes - very tired today. Cat gave us all Caponata last night - easy to eat in a bowl and delicious. Poor Tom was disturbed in his sleep twice once following an accidental gybe and secondly with a gybe in 25 knots winds.

Thankfully it has calmed down this morning allowing Geertje to do some washing , showers all around and hopefully a peaceful lunch with some time to sleep this afternoon ( we hope).

Strong winds forecast tonight and tomorrow so more of the same . 600 miles to go…..
