'Three-Two-One-Two men crossing the pond'

Covered 135nm with a great days sailing, but the wind suddenly veered to the North and brought with it a F8 storm with lightning a plenty!! So much so, Andy wrapped the handheld GPS in foil and put it in the oven. No.. he hasn't gone completely around the bend, it's a makeshift way of making a Faraday box, which will protect an electrical device from a large voltage spike!
With the storm jib keeping Ocean One on an even keel, the storm abated at 4am. The wind has now dropped right off, and with the engine on,Andy can finally get some well earned rest.

Vessel Name:	Ocean One
Vessel Make/Model:	Finngulf
Hailing Port:	Dartmouth
Crew:	Andrew Moore, Steve Geekie, Paul Wise
About:	These three partners in crime first embarked on their marine adventures exactly 12 months ago at a well known sailing school in The Medina, Cowes. After testing the patience of every instructor, they eventually passed out with enough knowledge to make it back to the mainland.
Extra:	Their quest for adventure has since taken them across many small oceans, until this January they have teamed up once more for the big one! Armed with a blessing, carrot cakes, a few charts, and the love from Rachel, Lucy, and Lorraine ,(individually rather than collectively!), they are seeking a [...] weather window for departure.... perhaps Tuesday 15th??!! xxx More
