After a tough day yesterday, we had a rough night last night with huge seas creating lots of pounding, bouncing and noise.  I know this boat is safe and hardy, but it is hard to believe there will not be any problems with the hulls of the boat.  Matt assures me that the boat is fine and that the noise is a lot worse than anything else that could happen.  I was squeezing his hand every time the boat pounded the wave and he said “it will be a long night if you do that with every wave”.  Even though we have strong winds it is not coming from the direction we want – really bad wind angle.    All day we had 22-25 knots of wind, huge rollers and a boat speed of 3-4 knots.  We averaged about 25 miles over the last 24 hours – eek gads we will never make it to our destination!  We did manage to spot 2 shipping containers – yeah “proof of life” J
