This is the Transpac, finally. 20kt breeze and big swells. We paid our
toll getting in, but this is good hard sailing now.
We finally got our breeze as I went off watch to bed last night. Next
thing I know, I’m on the foredeck in my shorts and sea boots, dropping
the 3/4 oz spinnaker in a 30kt squall. It was really dark, really windy,
and really rolly. Woke up early to spell Garth, who was seasick and
drove about 4 hours in full wooly conditions, but at least we are
moving finally. We spent all day today with wind, beautiful wind.
Lovely sunset tonight, our watches are back in order, everybody feels
better.
