Last night was not so pleasant with winds of 25 kn and 6-8ft, 3-4 seconds apart, waves on the beam that I was trying to manage. As much as my plan was to stay a west direction I ended up turning Sarantium south to surf the waves instead of getting smacked on the beam! Most of the night, Sarantium kept 5-7 kn with three reefs in the main and only staysail flying! I slept zero minutes until 05.00 when wind eased and wave action improved. This morning, feels different! We’re just getting into the trade winds and wind is gentler. We’re are presently on close reach and self steering is happy!

Love reading about your travels. Such a heavy safe boat, with lots of room. I usually felt safe while we were sailing, unless we were heeled way over. I did not like that. Hope the trade winds are kind to you. What an adventure!!
