Very good progress yesterday in stronger than expected NE winds. Sailing under a very strange rig of genoa, storm staysail and storm trysail - in these winds (25-30kts) this combination gets us up to hull speed of 8-8.5kts, added to about a knot of current.
Still no sight of the sun; this morning another nasty grey dawn. Boats in front of us had over 24 hours of solid rain (really solid, like standing under a waterfall) around here yesterday, but we haven’t had a drop. Strange.
