It’s been a very “interesting” day. Our weather router put us on a more direct course and had us slow down to let the worst of the weather go by. That good because what we get was bad enough. At the peak we saw gusts of over 40 knots and sustained winds in the middle thirties. It has now slowed to a nice low 20 knot range. Crew and boat came through fine. It amazes us how fast Acacia can go with so little sail up. We have been sailing with only part of the staysail up.
One very nice byproduct of the more direct route is that our current miles to go figure is 678.
Our current position is:
41 01 N
135 59 W
As you can see we have now passed 41 N and 135 W.
