The front came through last night and we had a squally night. The wind finally clocked to N-NE at 25-30 with gusts to 35.
That's a lot of wind but on the ocean not to bad. We have been sailing today at 6+ kts with spurts to 8,9, even 11 knots. Today will be the day we make the most miles.
Unfortunately that front that went over last night stalled at 24 north an we must now sail through it again. Winds will be light on the other side but boy we have had the rain today.
We don't mind because all the miles made good are bringing us closer to Tortola at 18N.
Once we hit 24 north the trade winds should kick in and hopefully the ride will be easier.
We also cross the Tropic of Cancer and officially enter the TROPICS!!! Yeah!!
