After a couple of days, the rolling in the anchorage got to us and we set sail for Horta which was a very roly passage with 25-30 knots from directly behind. We reefed the main and poled out the Genoa then a couple of hours later decided on just half the jib. We watched Chaos streak past goose winged under full main, Karen looked at me and I understood instantly that if I put just a scrap more sail up I would be in serious trouble and banished to the dog house so long it would be worth decorating. As it was we were in Horta before Chaos as they had a 6 foot tear in their mainsail and had lost hardware in a gybe. I hate it when Karen is proved right, it is just not fair
