My first real Southern Ocean night - in the conditions behind the front. Air temperature 10°C. I gybed just before Gough Island, in the clement zone close behind the front -25knt TWS - but rapidly the breeze built and the instability arrived. It felt a little bit close to Gough Island
for comfort so I furled the A7 in order to sail a clear enough course to pass safely to the South West of Gough.
