Came out of the main harbour at Mazagon and as forecast the wind was coming directly from where we wanted to go. Shortly after leaving came across the main fishing fleet, it was almost gridlock with the things. We dutifully gave way and dodged away from anything that was fishing only from them to haul their nets, steam past us and start fishing across our course all over again – not fair. We wasted well over an hour dodging out of their way – got some good photos though.
Back on course bashing into the wind and much smaller waves than yesterday. One tack was 30miles, short tack inshore and then back out again. There’s a saying that “Gentlemen don’t sail to windward” – today was a good example of why! Long day but got into the harbour just in time to get access to the showers and then time for a beer.
Tea at sea, for those of you not used to boats, the cooker is horizontal!
