Boran's Notes
Very little wind in the beginning, we used the engine at 1-2 knots
Then wind increasing to 6 or 7 Bft from behind, direction followed us all around Cabo Finisterra
We took a gybing course which is easier to steer, and also faster than wind from 160° - 200°
Incidents
Boran discovered that the lashing on beam #4/2 was a bit loose. In waves, a 1cm gap appeared and disappeard between beam and hull. At the next watch handover, Ronald and Boran discussed the severity and options. Boran and Ronald agreed that the situation is safe enough to continue sailing.
