Time at Sea
Lots of wind, lots of waves and big swell. We had change plans and go south of Gran Canaria because the seastate was getting serious (+4m) and force 8 gusts. It was a good call, gave the crew a few hours of flat seas to have some proper rest and to eat something. West of Gran Canaria we hit an acceleration zone but the seastate was better, so it became easier and as the sun came up we could dry. Coffee helped rise the spirits. Good sailing.
