After 3.5 days of near perfect conditions and flying the spinnaker, the seas and wind began to build and clock. Then we badly damaged our spinnaker during the takedown yesterday afternoon. Last night the winds veered to the north and built to 27-35 kts bringing huge seas of 15-17 feet. We are reefed-,down and the boat is performing well, for which we are grateful. I continue to be amazed by Jeri as she has not gotten sea sick and has even been able to cook under these conditions. We now hope to arrive during daylight sometime on the 16th since we slowed way down in the current conditions.
