The gust to 30 caught us off guard.

Trying to use a 9 knot current to get our max boat speed so far, for the clicks brah for the clicks, and we may have been pushing a little hard. There were whirlpools that some onboard were genuinely worried would swallow us whole and a crunching upwind 1st to 2nd reef situation that required some patience and not a small amount of skill to get out of. We were hesitant to put in the second because we were so close to the downwind section of the trip but true wind kept climbing and climbing until we had no choice. So ofcourse right when it’s peaking to 30 I’m swinging off a line to set the reef hook. When it’s blowing 30 it’s hard to pull down a main and ours is quite large. Will look at rigging a downfu$&er for sure. There was adrenaline and a lot of people gathered by the helm/port windows at different points just watching the maelstrom the ocean poured forth today. Darwin slept the entire time. Lenny followed the vibe onboard and was just stoked really. Incredible day onboard for all.
