Destination Ft. Lauderdale

We are just about in Ft. Lauderdale. A few more hours and we should make it. What a horrible night last night was. Winds on our nose, no jib and heavy seas. We pounded in the ocean from the time we left Ft. Pierce at 7 PM until about 6:30 this morning. Then the wind changed direction to be more from the west and it was more comfortable.

We had phoned ahead to North Sails in Lauderdale yesterday to see if they could repair the jib on an expedited basis. They were going to pick up the sail from us at Lauderdale Yacht Club this morning. We won't get the now until after 5 but they are being great and will pick it up after 5 tonight. Their customer service is great.
