After a fantastic start when we were surfing at an incredible 11kn. down some big waves the wind died and we got stuck under the island . We had to work all night by pointing south and pulling sails up and down. Everyone was getting pretty fed up with all the sails flapping, finally the main was dropped and a tiny patch of genoa was left out until finally we found the wind again around 5 am and the expected 15/20 kn. of wind reappeared from nowhere!
