Nirvana - Nirana: Day 5



We see Cuba! But first early this morning: the night watch was rough with rough see's and heavier wind...we asked for wind but geez. Rich hung tough through dawn outside of Great Inagua Island where the daylight revealed "confused seas". Eddie said it looked like the ocean was boiling. Strong winds, strong currents, swells going in various different directions. 

Nirvana held strong and the seas; although still swelling and rock and rolling, became tolerable and the wind is now in our favor. All four sails are up and we are pulling 7 to 8 knots. The "reach" is Nirvana's sweet spot. About 100 miles to go to our next mark and then........turn.

-Rich, Ellen, and E
