It's getting windy

Position: 10.89, -76.64

The winds have become pretty strong - up to 40 knots now. Higher winds means we are making great speed. Broke our own speed record, we clocked the boat at up to 16.5 knots at least - that's a racing speed - but it is not exactly comfortable sailing in the rough seas that we are experiencing right now.

Forecast is for more of the same, so it's probably going to be another sleepless night tonight as we close in on Colón Harbour. It will be nice to get a break there tomorrow.
