We're not kidding anymore! Continuous winds 25-30 kts overnight have made for a big sea. Period is just long enough to not take significant water over the bow, though. Boat remains great aside from being slowed by the headwinds and seas.
Long trek ahead to Hawaii and we all hope these winds moderate soon to improve speed and fuel consumption. All feel fine on board. Wade has an iron stomach and offered me a Milkyway for breakfast at shift change! Fishing on hold for a bit until conditions improve.
Duck design is perfect for these conditions. High bow and flush deck with large scuppers allow it to shed water like a duck's back to coin a phrase.
