2025 Sept 8th, Day 5 - Back to Milford.

 WIP

Another quick passage, not quite as bumpy as outbound but quite a few squalls/ downpours and one line squall at the top end of F6 that veered 30 degrees and had me bearing away and getting another reef in the genoa, like the outbound trip I did not use the mainsail. After it had passed the wind was variable in direction and down to 5 knots for getting on for an hour, with a very lumpy sea I couldn't sail so motored for a while. When the wind returned it was from the SSW and back to F5 so it was a very broad reach with a reef in the genoa.

I made free flow with an hour to spare. That was particularly good news as next morning as I would have had to wait to lock in as the forecast for next morning was not good.

A thunder storm passing close astern.

74NM in 16 hours.
Still showing on Thursday
