Rounded North Cape on an upwind sail at a 50’ apparent wind angle, had to put in 3 tacks. Once we got round the Cape we sent up the spinnaker, now named “le bleu”, which worked perfectly up until the wind died down completely. Engine ran for about an hour after which the wind picked up from another angle allowing us to finish the trip on main and jib. Overall a beautiful slow day of sailing with very fair weather. Tired scale is pretty high so dinner will send me straight to bed
