The voice of reason !

I'm fine. We are going well, under 45 and 50 knots. It is a bit shaky, but it is not going so bad. It was expected anyway. It's been a few days since we are trying to find a way out but finally I don't think there is any!

We tried to cross where we thought it was the wisest, but I’m not sure we succeeded!
We’ll have this kind of weather conditions for a few hours but after that it should calm down. The wind should soften but on the other side the sea will get bigger and stronger.

To make short, we actually have a lot of wind and a rough sea and it shakes ! It also makes a lot of noise. In terms of sail, we are under 3 ris ORC and we are staying inside as the pilot is pretty well managing the trajectory in this kind of conditions.

We are not superstitious toward Friday 13th. We are just hoping it will be a good day, which will nicely finish, because it is already difficult….”
