Since the previous blog, the last 24hrs has been even more active. 20-30kts from the NE, we are thundering towards Madeira, m'dear. The wind has been notably inconsistent. A true wind direction of anywhere between 30 and 75 degrees and a true wind speed of anywhere between 11kts and 30kts. This has kept the crew guessing all night. Do we go with a working jib and a double reefed main or used the reefed jib instead?
The inconsistency has created a very messy sea state as well. Described as a nasty north sea chop, Zephyr's Achilles heal has always been going upwind in a sea like this. The forward cabin clearly expressed this morning how well they slept last night!
HoP is in the galley today working his magic. We think we have just about has every form of tuna. Last night was Tuna steaks. Yesterday lunch was fish pie. Today's lunch was tuna melt. Any further suggestions please?
ETA into Quinto do Lorde marina is still tomorrow (26th) AM.
