2 day passage downwind, sailed 75% of the way. Just arrived in Shelter bay. Had to motor the last stretch. The sea state was large, choppy, and we were surfing a lot. We got 11 knots sog this time. Averaged 6.1. Dead downwind is a frustrating point of sail. We will have to work on improving the downwind system before we leave across the Pacific. There were a lot of squalls, and we're back in the lightning zone. Need to pick up our new inverters before we head to San blas.
