Expecting a rough night. It is blowing twenty knots and it is right in our face. We motored for about eighteen hours, but it was slow going as Cloud Nine kept digging into the troughs. So I made the call to switch to sail, which is quieter, and a whole lot rougher, and the seas have picked up. Anyway, not much sleep tonight. Hopefully the forecast holds and the wind switches direction.

Twenty knots dead on the nose, eighteen hours of motoring already behind us, and the call to switch to sail because the digging-in had gotten old.
