Repair and dry day in Brighton






Last night we arrived Newhaven which is a "do not stop harbour" but still good enough for us, as after 12 hours in the sea the pizza tasted very good. The deckmaster had a rough turn on the deck, with approximately 13 - 16 m/sec strait in the front trying to secure the genaker which was on her way out of the bag. It was a wet experience and as you can see from the attached video and the deckmaster had a tough day at work :)

Therefore we set the course this morning to Brighton which is such a marina we would like it to be!!! Here we have a fine chandlery and a workshop which we needed as we had a leak in the dorade vent in the bow. That has now been repaired with Sicaflex and hopefully we do not have to do that again. Only thing we did not find was a WIFI antenna but will see what to get tomorrow in town.

We have got new weather forecast from Mats from Frivind, which show that there will be a high pressure in the Biscaya from Sunday morning so that means we will set sail for La Coruna, a 600 nm leg. Looking forward to get more south and hopefully better weather.

Until next time, Ship ahoy
