L'Eau Commotion Westabout

Its 9pm Thursday 17th August and what a difference a few hours has made. From blowing a gale at midday to a fresh breeze at 3pm to unfurl the staysail to 4pm to hoist the double reefed main to 6pm the full main and now just ghosting along. Hard to tell in the pitch black but even the swell seems to be rapidly dying down. I really should have the large jib up but with forecast winds of 25+knots in the next few days I'll play it safe. The only concern at the moment is that I might sleep through the alarms, being close enough to the shore to run aground by daylight should the wind direction change rapidly. After the thumps and bumps of the last few days I feel I could sleep in to next week but it's not to be.
