Today had it all. Early start for a 50 nm long day. Bright early morning sun. Calm waters and a gentle breeze for the first hour. Gathering clouds and rain and lots of wind-in-the-right-direction. Heavier rain clearing, leaving the wind but choppy seas. Max boat speed with sails driving us through the waves. Wind vane steering coupled in and coping with the demanding conditions. Clouds receding over Stavanger, leaving us in bright sunshine. (Can you see the helicopter?)
Sea current between one ond one and a half knots almost all the way, giving a remarkable, and maybe record, speed over ground. What a day!
Alls vey well!
Josin's 2025 cruise

John. Sounds exciting, slightly dangerous. Just the way you like it. I cannot see the helicopter, despite your gorgeous detailed photo. I found Stavanger on the map. I thought you were going to leave Josin up north somewhere . Is that still happening? We spent three days in the mountains. Found hedgehog mushrooms, pine forest, some rain, modest hikes. A good time. Liz
