L'Eau Commotion Westabout

3:30pm Wednesday 21st February 2015 ( UTC-5 ) The long forecast 35 knots from the North to North East fortunately did not quite get to that figure - my guess is around the 30 knot mark although a little more to the North East. We are still very much in the Drake Strait so a cautious approach has been the order of the day and consequently the jib was well reefed down as we just jiggled along a little off a beam wind through most of the day. Just now a little more jib has been shown while we await the arrival of gale force winds from the West or even hopefully West South West. The jury rigged cross bar on the WindPilot is holding up well and should get us to Stanley. With any luck we could have one long reach on the Port tack all the way to Cape Pembroke.
