A smuggler's night


At 11:30am we're off, "Babette" and "Sedna" in tandem, sailing to Dublin. Over 30 hours in one go, an over-nighter. A misty, foggy sail. The wind's against us. And, for the moment the tide's with us. This combination giving us short, steep waves. Which we bang into in a hull-shaking manner. But as the wind dies the seas grow less confused.

The fog is still thick as we go into the night watches. No moon, not a star in sight, a proper smuggler's sea tonight.
