We blew across the Gulf of Main through the night in the fog with a full main and light #1. In the middle of the night we were on a starboard tack and had a 43ft yacht from the division above us called Agincourt. Pretty neat. When we were on port tack, all eyes were looking for starboard boats coming in. Visibility wasn't more than 200ft.
The time on this photo was 7:19am
Winds had picked up over 25 knots causing us to be woken up for a sail change to the #3. A little while later apparent wind was up over 30 knots, so we threw in a reef.
We kept our boat speed close to 7 knots with this sail configuration heeled over about 25 degrees. We pretty much stayed like this for the rest of the day and into the night.
We did encountered a fishing trawler and had to alter course:
