Day74 8pm Tuesday 20th August 2019 ( UTC +1 )
With the wind just over 20 knots from dead astern setting the BiSymmetric was again postponed. Instead the jib was poled out to Port and the double reefed main well out to Starboard. This is not entirely comfortable as running down a wave there is the tendency to swerve and roll but making good time of around seven knots compensates. Leaden skies and a chill breeze made it a so so sort of day but tomorrow we should enter the South African Weather Services official South East Trades Area and it looks like it will come up to expectations.
