Monday afternoon - 15th - No wind

Today was pretty rotten.... No wind and boiling hot!

I had a good night and made it to the South East Corner of Ireland. Had breakfast and all looked good until the wind dropped and I started to drift towards the Shipping Lanes.

I could have used the engine but it is not allowed under the non-rules - so I spent an hour slowly creeping away under sail in very light winds. Nightmare. 

What made it worse was that the guy next to me managed to avoid it and I watched him sail off , as I wallowed there for most of the day, as the wind then totally dropped. 

Anyway, sounds like we will have the opposite problem tomorrow a lots of wind. 

I must say that I am finding it much tougher than I expected!
