Rollarcoaster ride

This morning started with a lot of rain and a lot of wind. We measured up to 42 kts, but the wind eased out soon and we could make more sail. With waves from 4 to 6 meters we want to keep pressure in the sails to keep the Clipper a bit calm. The opinions if is this is fun or not were very different today. Anyway, there is a balance: The more some enjoy it, the more other dislike it. At the moment the wind is back on a steady 20 kts and the sky is clear again. With this circumstances we will sail into a wonderful night.
