The Guilvinec registered trawler Alya is currently working south of the Scillies.......
though for the last twenty-four hours she has been dodging head to wind as can be seen from her AIS tack, heading into the south westerly seas to begin with before her last run as she heads west. The boat steams slowly with her bow facing directly into the wind to minimise the amount the boat rolls, eventually coming round 180ยบ and making her way back to a start point and repeating the move........
wind height data from the Sevenstones Lightship just a few miles north of where the Alya is currently working shows a swell height between 10-20 feet.
