July 13
A pretty uncomfortable night shift started with a 30+ knot crash gybe on my watch. I got too deep, wth too much sail & the autohelm got into a aggressive pattern of overcorrection, and I couldn't settle it with hand steering in time either. It was all hands on deck to manage the aftermath. Fortunately, no body got hurt and nothing got damaged! Yay, angels! (thanks for the prayers) anyway, it made for a stressful start to the night… (which other than being kinda chilly & a little wet, was fine.)
For a few hours early mid day, we had a beautiful respite, blue skies, light winds, calm(ish) seas. We all found a sunbeam to bask in, got some "housework" done and relaxed a bit.
Later when it turned gray & wet again, we warmed the cabin up making a big pot of soup and warmed ourselves up enjoying it.
