Aftyer double checking the weather several times and bailing out the dinghy which was full of water form the previous night we left Louse Hrbr around noon with a forecast of 25 - 30 out of the N or NW and 2-3 meter waves. Once we cleared the coastal hazards we were able to carry on under reefed main and jib, wow it was nice just saling. the breeze continued to build untli we had over 30 knots with large seas that we were coastingf over. The boat was still over powered and we were getting lots of weather helm so with a bit of a struggle we furled the jib completely and carried on under reefed main at 7 knots, wow. Other than the breeze the day was bright and sunny. however evry now and then we would take a wave that would cover the entire boat from end to end running down the back of the bimini. By the time we tuened up the Liuscombe river at 1700 hrs you could hardly see through the dodger with the salt spray we had taken. We pulled into one of our favorite little ancorages just inside Riley Island and ended the day with a hot shower nad homemade pizza on the boat. This was a good day where we learned a few more things about ourselves and Rose Lee.
