Wind abates, wind picks up.

Grey sky. Drizzle and a bit of rain. It all comes today with a wind shift. First it dies down, then starts picking up.

Westerly turns into a Northerly, later backs again to Northwesterly and keeps backing. Soon it will blow again from the West.

A potent Low Pressure System travels fast towards the East with its centre located just over 650nm to the south of our sailing track. The frequency of squalls decreases, no big frontal areas to deal with now, but riding the Depression’s northern flank, a zone with rising winds and growing seas over the 48º of latitude.

146 nautical miles we left behind today, dealing with all those wind changes. Like that we are approaching half the distance to sail in a straight line from departure to Cape Horn, 2533nm to go, while we have sailed 2440.
