We've travelled over 200 nautical miles (overnight previous night and yesterday) and had winds up to 27 knots when only 3 knots was predicted, and some rain. We arrived here around midnight last night - just couldn't be sleep deprived another night - and just as we entered the harbour the port engine snuffed. Thought we'd hit something but as it turned out we'd left the screecher rope (screecher is a form of spinnaker) hanging over the side and it made it's way loose and wrapped the propellor picked it up. We were just too tired to deal with it last night so it was a morning swim for Ray as he dislodged the rope from around the prop. Here's hoping there's no damage or leaks. The wind's with us again today so we're heading off further north.
