Just a quick update - the night went well considering that at times we felt like a bobbing cork, but only had a few squalls and they didn't materialize into much except some rain and winds up to 35K. Seas have been running 12-15 feet, but Tsamaya keeps rolling nicely with them. Our yesterday day total as of 6:30 AM this morning was 148 with our overall total being 2,190. Looks like Flores is about 280 miles ahead.
Our position as of 9AM is 36.26N, 35.33W. Winds are 22-25 k out of the south and hull speed is between 5-6 with only a reefed main out.
Not sure if I will be doing a longer report later but wanted to take the time this AM to let you know that last night is behind us and we are doing fine. Bob was the real gentlemen last night as he didn't want me to come out to get wet so had me sleep until it got light. I then took over the watch so Bob can get some much needed sleep. We usually keep to our watch schedule but last night was unusual in that regard. Luckily even with the bouncing I was able to get some sleep so will have a full day today as wind and seas will continue most of the day.
best wishes to you all
