Just as it was for us. On the morning we started with pleasant conditions, but when we came around the corner at Dover, the wind and the waves grew. We had the current from behind and this made the waves steep. Ideal conditions for some of our crew, to feed the fish&#8230; and later on, when the current came the front, our speed over ground went down. Towards the evening the wind and the waves weakened a bit and we coordinated who will be on the watch. At about 2 o&#8217;clock in the night Nelly steered our last tack and then we sailed 10 hours on the same tack, for Lukas a premiere :=).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailing-bajka.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Ela_DoverStreet.jpg?resize=1080%2C715\" alt=\"Ela Dover Street\" width=\"1080\" height=\"715\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those stages, it is convenient to get something warm to eat at any time of the day.
