We knew wind and waves were forecasted to be of decent speed and size. According to my garmin GPS inReach weather report, wind was upgraded to 21 nmiles NW and 7 feet wave height, 16 seconds apart. At times I was reading gusts up to 28 nmiles, and when we needed to reef our mainsail and pointing up wind we had 31 nmiles on the nose. Yikes, that’s more than we had anticipated. As well, waves seemed taller and less than 16 seconds apart. Needless to say, it was a lively sail through the night. Since we are two people sharing the helm, we took three hour shifts through the night. Presently, we are three hours away from Isla Cedros and our anchor on the east side to hide from swell and wind. Turtle Bay will have to wait!
