The current was behind us, winds were ahead of us. In this case, this made for an exciting day as the current gave us a good boost making our tacks into wind quite effective. We had an enjoyable sail. We included heading through \u201cThe Race\u201d which is a notorious area where currents merge \/ diverge and depths change dramatically giving rise to very interesting surface conditions. This was a good first day for Helen – I don\u2019t think she would have enjoyed our first few days.
