[status] 20190209+10 03:45 UTC, Day 7+8. Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Marshall Islands. Inbound Saipan. Big seas and high winds. Wow those two large squalls were powerful. We had already reduced sails, given that it was night: Stays'l + trys'l. Tumbleweed + Monitor windvane handled the squalls beautifully...we didn't touch a thing during the squalls. On Sunday the weather settled to 22 kts NE. So now, reefed genoa + stays'l + trys'l. 550 nm to go.
