LONG WHITE CLOUD

We always knew this part of the passage was going to be a challenge...and yes, we've been bashing our way slowly eastward into the wind and big seas making unsatisfying tacks. We left Roatan yesterday morning at 1145 and the wind and seas continued to increase as we neared the Honduras Mainland. This morning the seas have abated and we are having a slightly smoother ride, but we'll look forward to 'turning the corner' and easing off on the downward leg toward Panama.
