SW gales given over to NW gales and 6-8 m seas. All crew unimpressed and waiting for the "moderating".
Two crash gybes in heavy seas have taken out the stern light and the external satphone aerial. Now running under staysail only and doing 5-7 knots. Another uncomfortable night ahead.

The NW gales are on the trailing edge of the system and the wind should decrease throughout the night. The sea should go down but not as quickly as the wind.Love Granddad XOXOXO
