We put in our one gybe in the past two days and have started heading north. It has been good sailing, staying between Code 1 and 2 for a couple of days, keeping average speeds up, and the boat flat. This has instilled everyone with some confidence in their helming ability and trim, and it has been good to see the skills gap decrease across the boat.
The sky has been heavy with grey cloud indicating we must be heading back to the UK. The forecast is mixed with some very interesting options for the routing, and we eagerly await today's new weather to be able to reassess our options for the following days. Got to go, needed on deck!
On Deck Chat: A two-hour conversation about the correct way to make a beef wellington, Parma ham or crepe?
On Deck Tunes: Up-tempo windspeed helming tunes
On Deck Snack: Last box of Australian cookies the head of delayed gratification has been hiding from us.
