After our first impression, that the Pacific is easier
than the Atlantic, we have been tossed around by roaring waves coming from two
sides. Rough sea and near gale force winds swept over us under groups of big,
rainy clouds passing by. We had up to 29 knots of wind and
with broken sleep have been a bit more edgy. But Kahia plows through the
powerful mass of water and keeps us safe. Still well reefed down, the
wind is now 13 to 17 knots and we hope the sea will be calming down for the
night ahead.
4 hours ago, we did our 24 hr day run and had only 883
miles to go, which is more likely to be around 855 miles right now.
How inviting the thought, to be soon at anchor again and
sleep through the night! |
