It was paradise ... and now it is hell!

All was well until halfway. But yesterday afternoon at 16:00 we entered a storm and have battled it since. It is now 9:00 am.

We have recorded winds of 49kts!

But we are coping so far. Can't write much more, it is too difficult to stay on my seat, we are rocking quite a lot.

But no worries, all is well.

Love

Mike and Catherine
