BLOG just in from Alan Morgan of the Islanders in Black Oyster off Scarborough:
54 18,172N 00 17.631W Sorry been out of contact. We have very low solar energy, so no phones have been on charge for a while. Things have slightly turned around for us. We finally have a tail wind. So over the last 24 hours we’ve managed to stretch out legs and do some miles.
Sea state at the moment is the biggest we have encountered. The big swells are around 40 feet. But on average overnight 15-20ft.
Everyone’s giving it the beans. As a result, literally passing out after each two-hour shift. Unable to even get changed and into dry sleeping bags. So it’s intense.
The plan is to head for Norfolk. It is weather dependent. Fingers crossed!
