Super sailing conditions today, if only they wind was in a more favourable direction! Had a good sail under the main, mizzen, jib and stay sail. Had to motor once the wind dropped. Both the wind vane and autohelm tested at various times and worked well. Had a visit from several pods of dolphins during Thursday.

Pretty rough seas overnight. Laerling coped very well in the conditions. The auto helm kept dropping out so manual helm overnight.
