A wet, windy and wild day sailing today. Covering the miles at these speeds is great and makes the reality of finishing much greater. It has definitely been a race of all sorts and has tested me to the limit both mentally and physically. There is still a last sting in the tail as tomorrow will see the wind grow stronger as I close the Bay of Biscay into a full on Easterly Gale and some.
Apart from being wet and cold nearly all the time now I have had some great speed from Aviva and it has been exhilarating to drive her in these conditions. I may change my mind when tomorrow will see us back on the wind again.
