Wednesday 25
Ventilation
cover arrived and installed, 5 days following the incident.
We felt
desperate to sail somewhere, wind F6 NNE sea state rough (3 meter waves), only
one direction possible; south, running mostly some broad reach. We had learnt
from our misadventure, so hoisted the foresail only and taken by the motion of
the sea slewing as the waves passed under us sometimes even surfing the 5-ton
yacht down the waves averaging 6 knots to Hartlepool. That slightly unnerving
feeling looking back, seeing an approaching wave towering over the back of the
boat. Thankfully she rides over. In the
distance waves on the breakwaters 30ft white water plumes.
Very welcome
coming in from what had become a rather confused sea with persistent rain (north
sea summer sailing)
On a pontoon
now, heaters going drying the oilskins, Mexican chicken from Carolyn, Mark
Knopfler . on the CD , well sleep well.
Possibly Whitby tomorrow.
