We departed Abu Dhabi at Emirates Palace at 18:00 on Thursday October 8th and rounded Sir Ab Nair between 2 and 3AM in the morning, it was a long beat Northbound with a very stable NW wind of 12 knots. the above picture is the rounding of Sir Ab Nur, on the West side we where beating upwind and once South bound we hoisted the A1.4 Quantum sailing strait back to Abu Dhabi. The wind died after sunrise and we had to motor in. We tried fishing but had no success. During the upwind beat the sea was quite choppy and the front hatch took quite some water, about 10 buckets.
This is the happy crew after a 14 hour sail on arrival at Emirates Palace Marina.
