The wind during the last two days was not from South as predicted, but from the East. This is the least favorable direction of all. It forced on a north-easterly curse in close haul. We have been lucky since the wind was in the manageable range of 10-15 kn. The updated weather prognoses are promising southerly winds again and we are hoping that this is right this time. If not we would run into a serious problem at the long run.
