The last 24 hours have been very similar to the previous. Lots of rolling and struggling to keep sails full. This morning at first light I manage to put the mizzen up and it has been behaving. It has helped us to speed up but not done much to slow the rolling.
No luck on the fishing with these rough conditions. Today the seas are starting to get more organised and we are hoping they will start to get longer between them making it more comfortable and better for boat speed
