[status] Winds were 25-30k overnight with gusts and squalls of winds 35-40k. We were glad we'd dropped to 3rd reef before dark so the feisty night wasn't problematic. We're also grateful that the wind is behind us, and we're making good progress.

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