this may be the last post for a while. I am not sure how far the internet signal will reach.
Wind from NNW 12 -15 kts, course 070, or a little north of east, result: Max speed, 6,5 to 7 kts. in the right direction. Wheeeeeee! Aolus again defied the forecast and is blowing much harder, thankfully, so ETA at the other side, probably Rødham , will be lunchtime. Excellent! I am now glad that I decided to go further north last evening before stopping as the angle to the goal is now much free-ere. Only thing to do now is to watch out for commercial traffic, of which there is a good deal, including ferries, which don’t like sailboats in their way!
The rest of yesterday, after lunch, was just about perfect. Plenty wind. Sunshine. Sailboats out enjoying. Coffee and chocolate at intervals. Soup. Wind died just before goal, so a little motoring only. What better?!
Grey day today, there is obviously an old front wondering where to wander, and a stripe of clear sky to the north. Hopefully it will come south.
All’s well, from SailorJohn
