Sunday 7 July
Nothing doing today as the gale arrived as forecast in the night sounding like a freight train. Like all good skippers, David was up in the dark checking the mooring lines – all secure and the wind is blowing us off the dock which is also better.
We could see from our instruments on the chart table that the gusts were topping 30 knots and it is very sheltered in here so out at sea it must be quite fruity. On our drive to the shops we saw white horses in the previously flat fjords and a lot of debris from the dancing trees.
We spent the day back at Chandlers and IKEA getting our last bits and bobs.
We stowed all our kit to get ready for crew joining us tomorrow, La Bamba feels like home now!
Wow eleanor what an amazing adventure for you all !
Have a great time .. I will be following your journey ! X
