This is a very different trip.Quite big waves and swell such that moving around, particularly down below,  requires clinging on to anything stable and taking the minor bruises on the chin. The boys think it is all gung ho. Personally I find it all too wasteful of  gin and tonic. Because of wind directions, currents etc we are proceding in a rather more westerly direction than is desirable- will probably end up beached in North Carolina.
I am told the winds should abate a bit later today - though a hint of the Pinnochio nose is detectable.
Lots of love from the churned up captain and crew xxxx.
