Memories of running downwind at a *steady* 10-11 knots under jib with 50 gusting to higher right on the stern. After the fun time was over we did about 1 knot at best going upwind at full throttle getting back home. Electric power would have been going backwards at some speed.

Some people laughed at me when I loaded enough food, cigarettes and booze to last three weeks for what ideally would be a four day sail. (I'm running out of tequila -- only seven liters left.) But back to forecasts, after this thing blows through I'm pretty sure it's going to be light and flaky. That's my forecast... Wal
