So far, so good

9 June 2017

After a long an wet night with a lot of wind and a lot of progress, the cold front arrived. The ship was during the night close gagged. The wind turned west, exactly like we expected. But the wind turned more and became north-west. That was a bit unfortunate, as now we cannot go in a straight line to our goal, but at least we’re sailing! The next 24 hours we will find out if it was a good idea to start early. From the south-west an area with little wind will appear, and if we’re lucky than we’re in the right spot (north) to keep enough wind. So far, so good.
