Thursday 12th January<\/div>\n
Today we have had a few light showers. The sea has been like glass. No sign of what it’s been like the past few days.<\/div>\n
By Tuesday evening it was interesting. The swell was coming from the north and pounding the shore. The wind was southerly and so high that in this protected bay we clocked 35kt winds. The wind was creating white capped waves riding over the swell and away from the shore. As the swell hit the rocks the wind curved the spray back on themselves.<\/div>\n
Wednesday the wind moved to the west. This left us more exposed as it curved into the Bay. We could only ride it out. If we had moved to the western side of the Bay we could have got more shelter from the wind but the swell was hammering that side of the Bay more than where we are. It’s more comfortable pointing into high wide than rocking in the swell.<\/div>\n\n\n
