 We had two waves of wind. The passing of the initial front was pretty violent. Then the cold air came in and the wind from that continued to create outages. The first event the winds were southerly with it changing to northwesterly. |
| It has been a rough 15 hours. Yesterday afternoon [Tuesday] the wind came up to 30 knots from the south-east and some large and steep waves built up. We're launching off the waves at 11 knots and slamming down hard, making some awful sounds, so we even slowed her down for a while. You can't win if the boat breaks. |
| It's quite entertaining; it's different. The wind, the waves and the motion of the ocean is very exciting. The wind is extremely relaxing. You're in the middle of water, so it's very calming.

| There's a watch change at two in the morning, ... So seven people who have been on deck for four hours in immense waves and windchill get to go down below. They're covered in sleet. They're bruised. They're exhausted. And they've got four hours before they're due back on deck. They clamber out of their dry suits. They lay out their moldy sleeping bags on the bunks on the high side of the boat, and they get in. They've already used up 30 minutes. After another half hour, the wind shifts, and the guys on deck need to tack the boat. That means the guys down below have to wake up, grab their sleeping bags, walk across the boat, and lay out on the other side. Now they've lost even more sleep. |
