Tom is happy - we are sailing and he is hand steering trying to get to 10 kn SOG! He managed 9.8 kn so far. Getting close. We did the only thing that made any sense to us given the conditions - we took a tack to the South under staysail and main with 3 reefs and shut the engine off. We have been doing rather well and in about 1 hour will tack back North for about 20 Nm which should put us near The Needles. Given the strong winds and direction we are likely to go through the North Channel rather than The Needles. Overall, things are looking up a bit but no firm ETA yet. I have put the YB tracker on 2 hours and will put it on 1 hour as we close in on the entrance to The Needles.
