Today we had the full program!<\/p>\n
We started out after midnight with 4 Bft from E using the genoa tight in a bit to match the 90 deg AWA to stay on course. We expected actually a more northerly wind thus had only the genoa out.<\/p>\n
As of 0300 the wind increased. At 0610 the log book shows 5 Bft from ENE, combined with rain and thunderstorm. The wind increased to 6 Bft from ESE; a wind shift of 45 deg. With this wind we sailed quiet for a while in heavy rain but no thunderstorm anymore.<\/p>\n
Then the wind increased again with a shift first to E, and then to ESE. Blowing from ESE it increased to full 7 Bft. Although I reduce before the size of the genoa to 3 bars, MaRe really ploughed through the sea. In the meantime wind pushed waves up and we had wind waves of around 2.5 m, sometimes they exceed 3 m easily. The swell was short, far less then 100 m and 2 – 4 m high. Such a swell is called “rough” and indeed it’s rough sailing in such a sea with the wind around abeam. MaRe was rocking! With a small genoa only we made good progress on these sea conditions.<\/p>\n
At 1600 we unfurled the genoa again and used the barber hauler because the wind turned N. The wind went down but the waves remained.<\/p>\n
Now, at 1800, the wind and the wind waves are down. Only the swell remains in the range of still up to 4 m. Because we could changed course to a broad reach course MaRe moves relaxed along the given course of 218 deg.<\/p>\n
With all these weather conditions we had to deal with 12, not only 9, fishing vessels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
