The engine is on and we're motor-sailing, the reason for this is because the wind is on the nose! 15-25 knots of it, making it an incredibly uncomfortable journey. The sea state in the last few days has been nothing compared to this. We're bouncing up and down over the 2-3 metre waves that are heading straight for us, leaving our stomachs and other organs up in the air as we take off from each wave, similar to the feeling on a rollercoaster. Only this rollercoasted has been non-stop for 24 hours now!
