Hoofing it down the coast, ships everywhere and the waves are so big you often don't see the ships until they are only a mile or so away, by which time we fervently hope they have seen us on radar – I bought the best reflector I could afford…
Steady 25+ knots. Waves building for 36 hours – mostly ok but every 100th or so wave we get a train of four or five massive steepies very closely together. Heady rolled in to half storm jib size and still surfing at 6+ with several of the biggies breaking into the cockpit and half filling it. Trying to keep everything dry below.
Due for at least another 18 hours of this. Prob 5 or 6 days to Gib all going well.
Pete on watch in the cockpit – has to be someone there all the time for the ships – I've just done double egg and bacon and tomato sandos with a pre prandial Discussion with Mr Gydrin. Noice.
Time for a couple of hours ensac.

Sounds hairy! Stay lashed in and hopefully it'll turn pretty by Gib so you can take some pretty pictures for us landlocked folks. Love ya both!Carla
