Monday night the wind picked up big time and stayed gusting 40 knots. (force 9 at times) Bright and sunny and vvvvvv windy. we were stuck on the boat all day. Not too bouncy luckily just too windy to get off...
Blew all day Tues and Wed too. Played games, tried to find food onboard and watched lots of 'House' episodes. Went for a swim when the tide allowed. Tha was as good as gold.. Bless her...
