The waves were just too wild last night. With just 2 m² of sail area I was at a safe speed of around 5 kn with the major wave direction 30 degrees from the stern. The wind blew with up to 32 kn all night. I sailed a detour of 65 nm. The ship movements were so vigorous that I could not fall asleep before 7.00 h in the morning. Now I am waiting for the wind to back to west to get back on course towards Brest in France.
