Painful!/Pénible!

It begun yesterday just after dark, we blew up the clew of the yankee... We dropped it and set the genoa instead, no big deal.
But since, we have choppy seas..., the one from the wind, and some nasty surge from NE, almost shorter than the boat, there is no way to make any progress in that kind of sea.
Again, what we need is patience, there is nothing to do but wait for those waves to drop!

Ca a commence hier juste apres la tombee de la nuit, on a explose le point d'ecoute du yankee... On l'a affale et remplace par le genois, pas de probleme.
Mais depuis, on a un de ces clapots ! La mer du vent, plus un clapot a la con de Nord-Est, pratiquement plus court que le bateau, pas moyen d'avancer la-dedans.
Encore une fois, ce qu'il nous faut c'est de la patience, il n'y a rien d'autre a faire qu'a attendre que ce clapot se clame !
