Day 16, dodging squalls

Short update today, day 16 of the passage. Wind coming directly from South East, where we are trying to sail. So we are beating upwind with 322 miles to go to reach a waypoint North East of Culebra.

For the second day in a row the radar and high wind speed alarms have woken us up at 4:00 am for approaching squalls, so we get up reef the sails, close the hatches and wait for the squalls to pass before shaking out the reefs.

Here is what one of the squalls look like, with rain visible underneath it.
