Lightning and thunder during the whole night. Main in 3rd reef, corner of headsail out. Seas start to build, some wash over the boat, but Manta is taking waves beautifully. We stay down below, watch is kept by standing in companionway in the shelter of our solid "sprayhood". Great to have yesterday's chicken curry left :-). (28.10. the wind was ENE, not ESE as written.) All well.
