Tuesday evening update

Position: 38.418
        -127.839
Wind: 25-28 knots true
     340 degrees true
Waves: 12 foot, confused, white caps

The weather is just starting to get better. We had 30+ knot winds with 15+ breaking waves earlier today.  We put in the third reef at noon today and still continue at 7.5 knots over the ground. We are fighting a current so our boat speed is 8+.  Tonight the wind should very slowly drop to 23-26 by morning and the waves should drop slightly also.
Everyone is fine but somewhat tired. Most everyone brought Hawaii style sailing clothes. We forgot about the last few days outside California. The bow is a fun random weightless generator, allowing random free falls into the sail bags.
Jared is making a meatloaf now.
