We had our first negative example of this piece of water. Without any warning, a big cloud appeared and sucked up all the wind. For nearly two hours we were struggling badly and only wiggled ourselves out of the wind hole.
We knew it was going to be a bad position report for us, but even worse, we saw Puma and Ericsson 3 appearing on the horizon. We just managed to cross Puma. The pressure is on again. In the meantime, Ericsson 4 just carried on. But what comes around goes around; hopefully that was the only parking spot for us.
Of course, the crew is not happy at all, and they are all wondering why this is happening to us. Nobody is moaning or blaming, they know what can happen. So at least we are in the same piece of water, and can see the opposition. It is time to strike back.
Cheers,
Bouwe Bekking - skipper
