Hello Everyone Well, it is wild and woolley out here at the moment. Our 30kn. forecast wind arrived on cue, with gusts to gale force (we had one gust of 41kn) and gradually through the night and day, the sea has been building. It is actually quite awesome. There is a grey sky, grey sea, all the waves are capped with white foam, there are foamy streaks across the backs of the waves and blown spray off the tops of them. Every few minutes one breaks over the deck and the water is managing to seep in through all the tiny nooks and crevices and gradually the boat is getting wetter and wetter. We too are bringing a lot of water in with us as the cockpit is soaked, even though we have all the clears up. This is forecast to last until the day after tomorrow so no hot meals or coffee until then. It is too wild in the kitchen to deal with boiling water or hot foods. Anyway, our spirits are still up and slowly we creep closer to Lisbon, albeit at a snails pace - still 400nm to go. Next letter will be on a more cheerful note I am sure.
Cheers for now. Arti and Dimitri
