Current left… Current returned!
Day 31, evening.
Sunset is within half hour and the west sky is again a spectacle of black and white clouds, areas of rain and the fans of beaming sunrays on the heaving seas.
Moderate to strong winds all day varying from SW to NW, rain showers. My free ride river disappeared shortly after my report this morning and for several hours I actually had to work for the mileage.
However, in the afternoon it was back and we’ve been shooting along! Or so it seems. I skipped my afternoon freeze-dried meal when the wind was very strong for a while to help progress as I thought “time sea anchor soon”.
But then conditions improved again after a brief rain shower (when I sheltered inside). And again we ate up the miles. We now have 498 nm to first WP. SA is ready, head torch, gloves, rain gear all organized for if and when.
And now I feel I deserve supper!
Ps Today I wrote a special report on last week’s storm experience for “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” website.
Pps Just had a splash that filled the cockpit 1/3…
