20 knots of wind. Really upwind. This makes boat movement uncomfortable.
The radio shouts every hour about a wooden boat with 21 people on board, that left Africa towards Canarias and probably didn’t arrive.
Wind direction should change tomorrow morning giving us a more comfortable allure. When you sail upwind the boat is leaning away from the wind due to the pressure on the sails. You also from time to time fall of the top of a coming wave with a loud bang and a lot of spray on deck.

Thursday and Friday we expect 4-5m waves. It’s a long time since I’ve been in such high waves but the good part is that they will be 11 seconds apart so hopefully will be just a nice and spectacular dance up and down, up and down….

Maybe I’ll still have mobile connection in the evening.
