3:30pm Monday 5th February 2018 ( UTC-5 ) Despite my best intentions of pressing on as the wind climbed through 35 ( forecast ) knots it all got a bit much. Fortunately I was able to adjust the WindPilot from the cabin to run downwind as I donned the gear and the storm jib dropped with a minimum of fuss. It still required going forward to secure the sail and halyard but the task reasonably easy. I am now running at about three knots with a small section of the furled jib helping to steady the odd lurch and with a quartering wind just at gale force. The forecast hopefully states this should only last for another few hours but I will probably be reluctant to hoist the storm jib till morning. If it gets a bit quiet I can always roll out a few turns of the jib. The bright side of all this - the South West change is still said to be coming.
