An unbelievable day! Absolute rubbish! I spent most of the day going nowhere and it has been extremely frustrating. Twice I have got moving, a brief spell at lunchtime and then this is as fast as it gets at the moment. The top wind sped have seen in 8 knots and it flashed once, most of the time the instruments have read 1 and 2 knots of wind.
I got to the point today where I no longer cared in what direction I was moving so long as I moved.
A long and tiring day that looks set to continue throughout tonight as well. I shall have to go back on deck and do my wind dance again.
