Big sail and crossed the notorious Cook Strait!! Yesterday started with zero wind then started to build as forecast and just kept on building. Long night with 25-30 knots of wind and 2-3 metre seas. Beating into it. 🫠 Continued the whole next day, but eventually turned to downwinding 👏 Longest sail to date and proud of ourselves for some pretty challenging sailing conditions! Now, sleep 😴
