Back to the grind
Another leg, another surprise. 60 miles south of Portimao our mainsheet winch gave it’s last hydraulic wheeze and stopped dead. We are now back to winding the pepper pot and finding out just how many yards of mainsheet there actually is! Passed by ARC boat Luv during the night on a tighter course to Gran Canaria v.s ours to Lanzarote. Hailed them but they may have been out of range. Looks like a 140nm mile day and back to motoring as wind drops to F2. The sunrise is good enough.
Paul, been following your various trials and tribulations, you certainly seem to have had more than your fair share. Good to see that you are heading south again.
