June 9 - A Calmer Day

We've had a couple of challenging days with thrunderstorms all one night (several hours of lightening and thunder with winds up and down) and 25-30kn north winds for a few days. So thankful for AutoPilot as we're able to navigate from inside when it's rough. Today was a welcome respite for all of us, including Caramel. Winds are set to pick up again tonight to around 20kn. We have one reef in the main and just one headsail up which is our usual plan for the night.
