We are now sailing along the eastern coast of Great Britain. After a slow start yesterday, the wind strengthened during the night, so we had to reduce our sails. It was a cold, wet and uncomfortable night – and the nights are getting noticeably darker again.

Today, the sky is kinder, with occasional patches of blue, and 14–16 °C feels much more pleasant. Around midday we put more sail up, but soon the wind disappears again. Time to start the engine.

The weather here, up north, is changing more frequently than it was predicted.
