Day 15 -

We moved along pretty fast last night.  Wind hit 25 knots, and we flew over the waves. In fact the flying over the waves wasn't the issue, it was the landing that really woke me up. How it works is the big waves sneak up behind you, gently lift the stern, and off you go surfing down the wave. Now at the bottom of the wave there is a lot of water that stops the boat, and wakes whoever is sleeping with a jarring sound/pound.We are still sailing under spinnaker, primarily because we can't get it down, but also because the mainsail has issues when we head downwind. All in all though everything is working very well.

Looks like we should be arriving around the 20-day mark. Shannon is sticking with her 19-day wish, and I am staying strong at the 21-day mark.
