Winds averaged 20 to 25 knots from NNE all afternoon, gusting to 28 knots at times. Not too surprisingly, the sea state has become lumpy with breaking waves on the beam – we rolled so much as I was typing this that my iPad changed screen orientation! Still making 7 knots with 3 reefs and only 25 percent of headsail showing. Made for a spectacular sunset though.
