The wind arrived, the waves picked up and we were off. Surfing at speeds of up to 20 knots it was a relief. From going from no wind for so long to now lots of wind has been a big contrast with no time to adapt. Below decks it all sounded horrendous, yet when I went on deck Aviva was sailing along quite happily, the wind on her quarter and no restrictions. The best seat in the house was the driver’s seat, yet I have to admit the pilot got a better boat speed than me, probably something to do with the concentration levels.
