And more rain

We're in a band of 20kt NE winds that will hopefully last a few days. Sailing along nicely with one reef in the main and full staysail. Seas
have moderated and the rain is starting to die down but it doesn't look very hopeful that we'll see any sunshine. Glad to be out of the 30
knot stuff, the seas were getting up in the 15-20' range and we ended up surfing down the back of some really respectable waves. There
was one memorable "moment" where Traveller actually hit 21 knots surfing down a really big wave, I was a little preoccupied by what the
front of the boat was doing and didn't get a chance to measure the wave but I bet it was close to 30'. That was downright exciting, let me
tell you, and not in a good way. Traveller handled it perfectly though.
