Things are OK this morning, it was a pretty busy night but I feel like I have done OK. I was under genoa for a while but now it is kite, I have between 14 and 20kts, the breeze is a bit unstable. Yesterday was spent doing good things, so getting sleep and I had a good meal, but to be honest that is undone a bit now again. It’s been hard work and I’ve burned all that up.
I am still making good progress and have carried on making miles on Jean. He has slammed into the light stuff a bit. I have pushed to the right and found a corridor of breeze, but to be honest he is not going that badly now either. It is gentle downwind sailing, on starboard for the next couple of days, then reaching. That is, of course, if the routing is right. I ran it three times yesterday and got three different results. So really I am just looking at keeping it very simple. I prefer not to be in at the coast.
I am sailing my own race. If I follow Jean I just end up with what he’s got. I am looking for my own path and doing my own thing.
