Day 2 – rock ‘n’ rolla!!

Posted on October 27th, 2013

image1 (1)In complete contrast to yesterday, there was lots of wind today!! And waves!! It’s rock’n'roll time on Haskapa today!!

The wind angle isn’t quite perfect, but at least it’s a favourable tail wind! I’m doing a bit of surfing – highest registered speed was 11.2 knots on the GPS.

Last night was hard work dodging ships on my way out of the straits of Gib. Had an interesting time with a trawler too – think probably finished equal on points once all manoeuvres were completed.

Not much to report in way of marine life, bar a couple of flying fish.
