Leg 4 passage 6

Nigel Nomad

This was our big passage, leaving at 16.30 after a slap up Sunday roast in the pub. As ever the wind gods like to test us so we had to sail due north and hope the wind veered east later. Our sacrifices to the wind gods worked and we managed to point more Easterly over the passage. So no tacking required (hurrah). However the wave gods were less happy and the waves and point of sail made for a very rough passage with the odd sea water shower. You will see from the pictures we had to be creative in finding places to sleep. A few Pods of Dolphins swam with us and the stars were lovely. Locked into the marina at 18.30 in time for dinner at the pub.
