"Bugger" so we are told by the Chief is an old nautical term. It's all about the bugger factor and being buggered although Fabio and I still lock our cabin doors.
Today we feel a little buggered, some nights can be excileraring but leave you tired, did someone left their door unlocked? The last winds of yesterday's gale have chopped up the sea and while around us the wind at Force 6 (25 knots) is blowing from the right direcrion to get us to Brest. Helpful I did suggest to The Chief the sails might be broken and should he should take them back.
We are still going to Brest but in a short tack up and down up and down slowly head eastwards. If you're follow us on Marine Traffic you will see our track, the tack or triangles as I like to call then, cute aren't they.
On our boat we have a little saying "it will be 3 o'clock" in the morning. Why? We seem to be out hoisting or dropping sails, rigging sheet, drags. The heavy seas and gale force winds means that we should make Breast for Midnight Wednesday 14th. Fingers crossed.
