Morning all,
The wind has finally started to free!!! We are still close hauled so it doesn’t feel much different, but at least we are heading the right way and the wind should continue to go around over the next 24 hours. We will eventually, hopefully, be downwind. I could kick myself for not staying south early because that’s where I wanted to be, but we got forced north and we must now try to stay with the pack. I highly don’t recommend trying to cross this ocean at 38 degrees south!!! It’s basically the tropics!!
It’s heart-breaking watching the southerly boats get westerlies but so be it. We have good points on the board at the moment so can afford some mistakes.
