[status] The front hit us early last night with 20-25knt northerlies, then lots of rain thru the night, and then a swing around to 30nt ne this morning, and now 10-15 west and the rain has stopped and blue sky is winning over the clouds. We hove too all night, did a big circle of slow drift on the chaft plotter, and have got back underway in the last hour heading about NNE with sloppy seas.

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
