48 knots (10 Beauforts) / 284 WNW

I make no apologies for an update on yesterday's Blip.

The Alfa Germania has now been riding out the 'Weather Bomb' for the past 36 hours.

At 17:43 today the wind speed has increased from yesterday's Force 9 Strong Gale to Force 10 Storm Whole Gale.

There are reports of 3o metre waves, over 90 feet!

Thoughts go to all at sea tonight.
