BOB BOB BOB. Nope, this isn’t a reprise of the Black Adder sketch about a woman called BOB, this is my position in the North Atlantic, King Of Shaves and I are BOB BOB BOBING about…! No wind, a long night and no wind and according to the GRIB files a while before we do get wind. I don’t know if the GRIB is accurate enough to but it says that 50 miles south there is an easterly and 50 miles north there is a northerly and I am hoping that the latter comes to me and I can trickle off into the distance!! Had a bad night according to the skeds though, Barry Hurley is now very close to me east / west although I am still north of everyone and surely (surely!) that’s got to pay when this low comes over in 36 hours time. The forecast for after the low looks good right now for me as well so I am just enjoying this BOBING and waiting for it all to kick off this weekend.
Anthony is till on a go slow and will only steer to course but otherwise in good shape. Now got the A5 chute up and doing 4 knots in 6 of Northerly breeze, doubt it will last long but will make the most of it while I have it. Going to have another yellow wire tracking session to see if I can find Anthony’s problem.
Over and out for now
