Last night the occluded font past us and with a suddenly change of wind direction
forcing us to gibe in the night and under light rain.
But this morning the sun was out again and we host the main, gibe again and start to sail wing-on-wing with
whisker pole out for the jib. Today we did more course change and sail adjustments since we left Norfolk :)
lure is back in the water but still no fish !
