Yesterday morning after a calm anchorage and a great night\u2019s sleep, we left Bay du Vin Island early, knowing we\u2019d have to beat upwind about 60 nm to our next stop. It was a long day, and not easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind got up over 20 knots on our nose and the swells got over 6 feet high. Pounding into those conditions was noisy and slow. With the engine at max cruising speed, we were moving at about 4 kts. The bow would sail up a wave and then smack down HARD on the following trough. The sounds were not for the faint of heart! Nothing broke, nobody got hurt, and we just ground it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
