Early this morning after running 2 days straight, the autopilot started making noises so we have had to manually steer. Of course the weather wanted to play the game too with high wind gusts and messy seas!
Not long after we spotted a cabin cruiser off our starboard side and heading straight for us. We carried on our course knowing they should give way to us under sail.
He will turn soon… He’s going to turn… OK everyone we are turning hard to port. Just as we did he must have woken up and turned his autopilot off. He swung hard to starboard and powered off. What a great start to the day.
We’re all pretty tired but enjoying being out in the big blue and sailing.
