Strong SE tradewinds. The forecast is 21-22 knots, but it's really 25-30 with gusts and rainy squalls once in a while. Quite unpleasant during the day and hard to sleep at night. The upper limit of my second reefed main is 25 knots, and I have to sail on a broad reach under a reefed jib and/or trysail after that, which slows things down. The halyard for the trysail bangs on the mast making additional noise and the mast itself under the jib shakes the entire boat, so it feels like a rollercoaster that never ends. The forecast looks like it's going to be like that all the way to the islands((
