All good

All is well. Deb is sleeping, the dog wishes it would calm down, but really things are fine. 25 knots and building slowly. Double reefed, no engine. Almost have the wind on the beam now.

Suppose I'll probably see 30 over the next few hours, but am staying 3 miles off the beach so the water should be flat. Maybe it will even be fun.

The downside....no moon....and no lights on shore.

Hope the GPS system does not go down over the next 6 hours!!

BTW - remind me to talk about my new $35 IPAD application from Navionics with charts of Central America and the Carib. that is almost as good as anything else that I have onboard. The ultimate backup!
