Now we are plugging along quite OK but conditions are a big fragile. The winds are up and down and shifting a lot. Last night I had the boat nicely set up with the A3, reaching along when suddenly there was a shift and I had full lock out on the pilot. Since then I have been a bit overcautious, sailing a bit deeper. It seems like the nights have been when the changes have happened, like every time I get my head down.
This high pressure is more or less with us for a while, stretching out so it is not like we are passing through it. It is frustrating to be losing miles so quickly again but that is just the way it is going to be.
