TIME: 2024/09/22 13:36 LATITUDE: 51-07N LONGITUDE: 024-04W COURSE: 70 SPEED: 7 24 tiring hours of close-hauled sailing in 25 kts SE wind and rough seas, ahead of a front that should pass us in the early afternoon. We hope to then have 15-20 kts from the West (even if GFS doesn't quite agree...). Nevertheless, we've made good progress with another 150nm in the last 24h.
Libertaire is being put to the test but so far everything is holding. There's still a depression to negotiate with its center right on our route. Probably a bit more close-hauled sailing before Ireland in 4-5 days, 520 nm remaining this noon...
