Another fast 24 hours, making 164nm. We had gusts last night, up to 27 knots, so it was a wild ride, and neither us had much sleep. Showering was difficult too - imagine having a shower in a cubicle which leans and jumps around whilst trying to wash a foot!
It has been an overcast morning with wild sea and winds between 18 and 24 knots. We have spent the day catching up on our sleep. We hoisted the pole because the wind looked more downwind for a while, but no luck, the wind swung back to 100 degrees, and our bumpy ride continues.
