… It could have been with the SE trade wind really blowing as it was forecasted.
About an hour ago I had enough of the instable and weak wind. I took all sails down and started the engines. Not really the way I like to sail but the only reasonable way to deal with the wind on a short term. If I would be on longer sail I made a heave to and wait for better wind. Not with about 30 NM remaining to the destination bay, I use the engine and recharge the same time the service batteries.
The sea is pretty bumpy. In German I call it a “Kartoffelacker”. (A while back I explained this term.)
Should there be something interesting coming up, I’ll write another narration,
