Our trip from Dover has so far been uneventful. Wind in the nose and the green monster is performing very well.
We are running just 1500 RPM which gives us an average speed of 5 knots through the water.
At times the headwind strengethens and we lose a knot or two. Not to speak of the current agains and with us.
But we have been able to sleep and eat comfortably.
The weather is going to change to a very faverouble direction for crossing the Bay of Biscay.
But not until Monday. So we will have a couple of days stop in Camaret-Sur-Mer.
We hope to arrive there late Friday or early Saturday.
A bit of traffic and we are trying to shift position between the separation zones
in order to be in a better position to head due south into Brest area.
Will write more and post some pictures when in Camaret.

PS few hours left beforre arriving Camaret. This is how track looks like. We have burned close to 150L diesel. Constant wind from the W-SW ment no sailing, as gybing in the English channel Time Saparation System is very difficult. In addition strong currents and it's always the current against that are the strongest one ;)

Takk for det Kjeld. På siste timene inn til Camaret Sur Mer. Det ble en lang og slitsom etappe fra Dover. Mye vind imot.
