Solid force 6 gusting force 7 today. Waves were reaching over 4 metres and the sea was very confused. Very weird wave patterns. We had the main sail up on second reef to give us stability in the water and kept us on a nice angle. We were getting pretty wet from the sea breaking over the bow, but it was a good laugh. Very hard to move about and hold on due to the roughness so going downstairs was a rare occurrence to check the nav. However this day had given both me and dad confidence in the boat and how it handled the conditions. As we were coming into Port Ellen we managed to reach about 13-14 knots surfing down a wave which was impressive. We are now in Port Ellen moored on a pontoon and I’m currently eating a bacon sandwich. Well deserved! 
We could be here for a couple days, weather dependant.
