We are on that sleigh ride again and had a rather uncomfortable night. It was almost impossible to sleep down below so we elected to stay on deck and grab some sleep when we could.

We are heading towards the 4,000 meter depth contour line, where we then start heading towards San Blas. It's a bit of a dog leg but we are hoping to avoid the big seas and stronger winds you get closer to the land. The other rally boats that are a few days in front had an uncomfortable night with winds reaching 35-40 knots and we think we might just catch the end of the bad weather they are experiencing on Friday. Great...

The seas have remained lumpy all day and I think it will be another night sleeping on deck. At least the nights are light so we can see the waves coming!

We have just over 2 days to go, lets hope the seas improve!
