Just before sunset we changed the main from reef 1 to reef 2 to increase the safety margin for the night.

TWS is currently 16 – 18 on but we had peaks of 20 kn. MaRe sails an average SOG 5.3 kn but often with peaks just above 7 kn.

Dinner was excellent Cuban made fettuccini with a sauce prepared by our OBM.

The Gods of the winds are nice. Wind changed from SE to ESE, which let’s us sail almost 180 deg. But sometimes winds turn back to SE… They are the Gods!

Beating upwind is indeed a bumpy ride!
