[status] Came upon a 30 knot squall around 7:30 last night. Winds mostly 24-25k since then with rough seas but making great time, averaging over 8 knots overnight. All is well but wet - had to put the hatch boards in on passage for the first time since leaving San Diego and it is getting chilly so the sweats are on! 598 miles to go to the Bay of Islands.

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.
