We are now about 24 hours within arriving in Panama. 
Thursday night was really bumpy with big seas and high winds. none of us had much sleep that night.
Last night was quiet and a chance to catch up with sleep between watches.
It was cloudy so no stars out and it was not very pleasant.  We were sailing very slowly and in the end the engine had to be put on and Steve had to handsteer most of his watch.
This was not easy as the compass light does not work and the windvane was not coping well.
Looking forward to arriving in Panama and joining the rest of the Rally boats.
