1801 miles to go, 202 miles toward destination this 24 hour period. Lots of squalls during the day, winds were 18-25 with gust to 30. Sailed wing and wing in the morning then switched to a broad reach when the wind clocked more to the south. Added one reef at 2pm and a second at 530pm. Set clocks back one hour. Caught one mahi-mahi and then put the rods away, too rough to fish anyway. Overcast sky all night but no squalls. Waves not behind us yet so not the most comfortable ride.
