Mon 27.8.12. Brest, Moulin Blanc.
The new low has brought 25-30 knots of wind with it. The windsurfers are loving it.
(Stargazer is behind this windsurfer).
The wind is SSW. There's enough S in it to mean that it's pushing swell along our breakwater. The wind has just enough W in it, though, to be holding us off.
So Stargazer is riding the swell comfortably on a cats cradle of long stretchy lines.
More comfortably than this boat at anchor in the bay behind us.
The wind is due to go west tonight which I'm hoping will give us a better lee from the swell.
I've provisioned up, and filled both the water and fuel tanks, today. In case we need to leave in a hurry.
