When the drizzle stopped, I did try fishing for nearly 1 hour. Both with the jig hook I was given by Anders and a “harpe”-a Norwegian line with many lures-usually good for mackrels. I had increasing attention from gulls, they obviously knew what I was trying to do, but with no result… Then it started raining in earnest! I got inside again where zinkept warm and mopped condensation as best I could, received two nice mails, read i-book.
About 4 pm the wind became less and veered to SSE. Weather info from Diana says SW from 8 pm UTC, that is 5 pm her, so I pulled in the SA and got rowing.
To row was almost impossible at first as there were still big swells from E, also the wind remained from SSE- not W at all. Thick fog as well, cold hands, soon cold feet. Miserable, in fact!
Anyway, I tried various ways to get the boat to go more E, but had to give up. She’s now going more or less N, but occasionally a bit to E. But if the wind really veers to SW or W the boat should be ready…
Time to hit the sleeping bag.
Do hope for more favourable conditions tomorrow: SW or W wind and some sunshine – please!
