Very bad weather, unfortunately, difficult to write lying to SA since 7 pm (10 UTC). 35-40 k from NW and huge seas.
Lots of banging and sprays and boat tossing around me. Pretty hellish, actually. Forecast said calming down, it did the opposite. Wind picked up first coupled with cold rain in the morning.
I did 5,5 hrs, then just drifted with anxiety until the sea anchor was finally set. No sun, fog first half.
But anyway, more tomorrow. No damage, no salt water inside, but a lot of wet gear, including survival suit. But managed to make supper and with soothing music trying to dominate all the noise. Strange drift, so current probably part of why such nasty waves, but wind still much stronger than forecast.
Saw several pilot whales close today!
