We left at 5 with Flamingo. They raised sail immediately but we were feeling a bit sleepy. We put the stay sail up and it helped a lot to steady the boat through the swell. We could have reached across Dunwich Bay but from Sizewell onwards the wind was on the bow. It was a fast passage with the stay sail helping the motor and the tide flooding at about 2 knots. The wind was fine but the swell was quite unpleasant, although perfectly safe. Once we got to Felixstowe we raised the main sail and sailed into the harbour. Got to get that jib sorted.
