Synopsis

Double reef in the main; genoa furled to about 80% at present.

The wind and seas have slowly been building all afternoon signaling that the low is upon us. Weather doesn't travel by man's estimates, rather of it's own accord. That said, the worst may well be over by this time tomorrow with things settling down to a slightly more reasonable state.

Things are rocking-n-rolling. Good sized seas but Music is handling them well at present. The good part is that we are putting  miles under our keel.

Cheers, John
