With changing wind we gybed twice today. With the experience the Dennis an Tjasa gain it was not difficult.

Than we had to get the gennaker down because a “fat” squall came. We simply used only the genoa for a short time until the squall was gone and the sky cleared from these surprising things. Within minutes after we set the gennaker again, we got surprised by a squall. No idea where it suddenly came from. Thus, we had a fast ride with the gennaker in a squall. It wasn’t long until the rain hit us, what means the wind speed goes down.

The big question is now what will happen during the night and when does the wind turns SE this turn is indicated since days.

Now at 1812 we are finally 8 NM SW of the point we were 2 days ago. Just look at the loop we had to make.

All in all our was not a bad day for MaRe and her crew.

Tonight’s dinner will be spaghetti with tuna (unfortunately canned tuna), vegetables etc. I’m looking forward to it.
