Yesterday saw a good wind that back slowly allowing me to turn more South towards the gate. The turn NW that I made the day before with the intention to benefit towards the gate, proved a good one and I could pass several boats to reach the rank of 44 this morning.
Now the winds are swopping from East to South and later will turn over North till the East again by tomorrow, that is if the wind forecasts are correct.
The wind has also calmed down and close under the coast, where I am sailing now, even more than the forecasts had indicated. So I am in for a quiet 24 hrs and fear that some boats behind can still find the stronger winds in the West. Whether these boats still can pass me to the gate in the expected easterly winds is another matter.
Well Done Ard , this blog is fantastic
