My second big passage and the first for Stardust definitely exceeded expectations. A fair share of fast stormy days with winds gusting into the 40s made for fast progress and hitting new records, including reaching 23.6 knots even with a triple reef main and jib. On the flip side, we also had a fair share of wonderful reaching conditions where the ride was easy and comfortable. Best of all, the eating on board exceeded expectations with about a dozen mahi and a couple wahoo and yellowfin tunas to fill the fridge.
