News:
Timoneer motor sailed for the evening as the weather improved moderately. The breeze couldn’t decide on strength or direction as it oscillated between 110′ T and 170′ and peaked at 28kts, dropping at times to18kts. The navigation in the old days must have been tough up here as we really haven’t seen the sun or the stars in the last 5 days. In fact it seems to be one rain shower after another with the occasional fog bank thrown in for good measure. Looks like we will have more of the same as the weather forecast for the next two days is breeze from the South East at 20 plus knots.
