On our way to Oban!

Tonight during my night watch we finally hoisted the main and the staysail. We were not yet racing but it felt really good to finally stop motoring. There was a big storm north of us with lots of lightning but it did not affect us. A beautiful spectacle.

This morning very early we did our man overboard drill and all went brilliantly and then it was finally time for race start!! The start itself was not very espectacular because just before the start time, the wind basically changed 180 degrees and mostly died. So the start was just a bunch of boats all limping around, prepared for a different wind. Then the 10 minutes passed and we were able to hoist the spinnaker code 1

Then the fleet started to disperse and we have been sailing all day under a gentle wind of around 10 knots and the spinnaker up, really comfortable conditions. We have a lot of clouds but no rain, so very nice conditions weather wise as well

We were visited by a couple of groups of dolphins, I'm glad that Angus was sleeping at the time!
