36:00.00N 73:17.00W

Blowing SSW force 7. Big seas but boat ansd crew coping superbly. Expect wind to start easing around midnight and also to veer, which will make things easier. We have had the company of a pod of dolphins and seen many flying fish. Some gophers in the cockit but nothing too alarming and at least the water is warm! More when it calms down, and photos to follow.
