Our low passed over us this morning, and another is bearing down on us, even as I write. There seem to be a series of fast moving lows passing though this area for the next couple of days. They are bringing us more wind than the gribs have predicted, but what else is new for this area. Of course we are putting the miles behind us because the wind is pretty much on the port beam, sometimes a little forward and sometimes a little aft.
Sleeping down below during the day has become impossible. It's way too hot and humid, even with both saloon hatches open. On this point of sail, with all the spray, no way can the foredeck hatch be opened so forget sleeping up there - like sleeping in a sauna. We are all a bit tired, but maybe tonight the temp will be lower and we'll be able to get some sleep then.
Cheers, John
