Weather still wasn’t great today but we decided to get the boat ready & put 2 reefs in the main & one in the headsail & go for a sail to have a look. If it was ok we would keep going.
Well after about an hour of being bashed around by waves i decided it was way to wild for me so we turned back. David would have been happy to solder on but he is a real seaman. On our return a few guys at the marina mentioned they didn’t blame us for not going further.
Strong winds from the south with big swells just make it too freaky & too slow going.
They are forecasting weather like this for the rest of the week so we might be stuck here for some time yet. Unless we are work out a new plan.
Here is a photo of me thinking I am about to leave the marina, only tonreturn later. Plus a few photos of the conditions. ( photos just don’t seem to show the size if the waves )
