The wind had backed during the night, so that when Rob woke up we set the asym at 08:45 Had some fun initially trimming it and balancing it to the autohelm. Eventually the breeze settled down to between 10 and 13knots and life became a lot easier. What a pleasure having the asym up broad reaching - the banging is down and the ride is very comfortable. The swell however, does cause a bit of a hassle as it is coming in from the port quarter and every now and then a bigger ones comes along that lifts the stern and pushes the bow into the wind. All good fun and speed is good - 7knots.
Richard we should be there before your birthday.
Cheers
Chris
