| 46º 7.554' N | 8º 45.312' W | SY Iris | We have entered our last 24 hours, we expect, of the Biscay crossing. Currently grey weather, with 8-12 knots of wind varying from 75-125 degrees on starboard. The weather forecast - grib - is indicating heavier weather than we would like to have. The only consolation is that the wind - of which there is a lot - is from an advantageous direction. Having reefed down the mainsail to 4th reef and feeling a bit like sitting ducks, waiting for the wind to hit.
