Bottom end of a F7 - 1 reef and 3 turns on the genoa. Typical for July.
Guapa gently cruising at 9.3kts.

An hour later the [--word removed--] hit the fan - 44kts over deck, spray everywhere, 3 meter waves, thought I had joined the submarine service.

Full story to follow once I get round to updating the blog tomorrow.

No need to show her that one.... I was onboard at the time, so can give her a first hand version.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks like summer's starting on Monday. My mistake... I had hoped it would have started when I went on leave. Nope... it'll start when the wife joins the boat.

Thanks for the vids Will.
Suggest stop cruising until the weather improves.
