Today started a bit bumpy but got calmer and calmer as the day went on. I waited a bit before leaving because I was hoping it would allow me to slip in after the strong winds had started to move away from the coast. It kinda worked. I started with very little sail area because the wind was still really strong, but as time went on, I could start to open the entire geona, and release the reefs one by one.

The sea was really nice to look at, well, once the rain subsided a bit and the sun started to light up the horizon. A bit less than 7h of sailing to cover 36 nm, that's OK! I am back in Ratan, a place where I took sheltered on the way up. Sadly, the restaurant that was quite nice last time is closed for the season… So soup in the boat instead!
