Just as we thought it could not get any worse the English Channel through another challenge at us and our ETA is totally up in the air. We are experiencing close to 2 kn of current against and 25 kn of wind on the nose. Needless to say we are at a standstill despite having the engine on and engaged. Totally impossible to predict our arrival time at this stage. I am hopeful that the current will change soon but the sea state might be problematic with 25 kn of wind going against the tidal current. To top it our fuel supply is getting low and it will be a bit of a nailbighter for the 2 of us. Do not expect a change to hourly up-date of the position for a while. Tom is totally frustrated with the lack of progress and is sleeping it off while I will try to make the boat go in the right direction while we wait for the situation to improve.

All else OK on board TWD - NE TWS - 25 - 30 kn COG - 65 deg SOG - 0 to 0.2 kn Baro - 1019 weather - fine with chance of rain ETA - not definable - sometime today we hope
