Pacific Ocean, 2212NM SW of Catalinia
In the evening the grey skies fulfilled their promise, and the first squall hit us. 90° wind shift and gusting to 30kn, we had to do some manouvering to get back on course.
Then a night of clear skies and light winds, followed by a morning full of squalls. All of this means we’ve been running a meandering course, in between wallowing in lumpy seas with slatting sails.
Not conditions helping a good sleep or a good daily mileage. But onwards we go.
