 So it's 11.45 local on the 30th of June, and we're on our way. I've just left Falmouth Haven, and heading towards the Manacles Boy, which is the start point really for the first leg, which will take me across the Bay of Biscay, single-handedly, on my Twister. I've currently got my autopilot engaged. It's a TP22 for those who know, and it's running in wind mode. You can see this, so it's following the apparent wind angle. So I've asked it to sail at 55 degrees, gusts, boats rounding up a little bit, and it's approximately keeping 55 degrees of current wind angle. It's pretty good. I guess we're doing four and a half, five knots. Let's have a look. Look, five knots. There it is. A lot of stuff on there. I've really got to simplify that. I've got too much information. There we go. So, 5.1 knots through the water. Probably about five and a half out of it again. Yeah, so there we go. We're on our way. 3.34 o'clock in the morning, and the wind finally came. So now we are romping along at 6.5 knots in 15 knots of wind on a beam reach array. This is why the windward side of the boat is known as to weather, because that's where the weather is. Right over there, it takes stock, maybe even shorten the sails a little. It's spicy. Not terrible. 15 to 20 knots. It's the gusts that get you. The gusts that get you. But the sea is not that bad. I guess that's what? A meter. Maybe a meter and a half is an occasional big one. It soaks everything. We're on the second reef now. In 15 knots of true wind, I'm making 6.1 through the water with a bit of help from the tide. 7.1 over the ground, which is jolly nice. Now I think I'm going to go and have a... Well, I'd like to have a little lie down. I just tried, but I couldn't really. Because basically over there is Wushan. I have no idea what the correct pronunciation of Wussan is, but it's the Brest Peninsula, the furthest west point of that, and a traffic separation scheme just a few miles to the... Well, that's the east of me, which is full of traffic. So I can't really take my eye off the ball for too long at the moment. And even if I do as I just tried to, I just can't. I can't let go. I have to keep coming and having a look. So I guess in four or five hours, I'll be well clear of all of this and on a diverging course from all of the traffic that comes through there. And that will be the time to start my snooze routine, which worked very well last night. It was 20 minutes in the bunk, of which probably two were actually asleep, but the others were resting. And then up, check everything, do a bit of nav, check the IAS. And I'm back in the bunk again for another 20 minutes of snoozing, relaxing. And I managed to do that for maybe three or four hours and probably had a cumulative, I don't know, half an hour of actual sleep, but the rest is fine, getting the rest, even if you're not actually asleep. It refreshes you anyway, just switching off for a while. Yeah, so when I'm clear of all this rubbish, no, it's traffic, then we'll try and do the same again. Oh, see, a bit of bird life, that's it. First time I've seen birds, so I wonder what else is around. Okay, enough for now, bye. So you've got to look out for, it's the fishing boats in a rush to get home with their catch. Luckily my IAS picked him up about an hour ago, so there was a potential. And here we are an hour later, and he seems to be just in aim and strength to cut that bit out. Anyway, he's going to pass me. Things are a little calmer now, winds down to about 12 to 15 knots. That's the asymmetric spinnaker, stroke cruising chute, stroke genica. And yeah, pretty. There's just 12 knots of wind and it's from behind. I'm on a very broad reach, almost running. So you can see with 12 knots, I'm making 4.7 through the water, but it's against the tide now, so over the ground. Just 3.4, but that's better than the 1.2 I had before I decided to go for broke and get this beast up. God help me when the wind picks up and I've got to get it down again. Let's enjoy the moment. Cruising chute and a third reef main to try and balance a little bit for the autopilot. Somewhere over there, there's a couple of fishing boats that I need to look out for. It's day two evening and it never shows up on the camera. But this swell, nice push, this swell is 1 to 2 meters at times. And there's some monsters. I can tell it's 2 meters because when I'm standing up in the cockpit, my eye height is 2 meters. And the swell is such that at times I can't see over the oncoming waves. Therefore, from the bottom to the top of the swell, 2 meters. And it throws this boat around quite a lot when you get one of those on the broad side. So I have to hold on very tight, especially if I'm on deck doing stuff. Yeah, but successful day. You see, you do get thrown around. Successful day. Flew the asymmetric spinnaker in the afternoon. It's a nightmare getting it up and getting it down single-handedly. But we got a shift on and now the wind is such that we're bobbing along at six knots over the ground. Sometimes up to seven. There's a bit of tide that's helping us and making good time. Tomorrow, bisque.
