Welcome to the Tropics, here are your squalls!

But I didn't order squalls. No problem, we have plenty for everyone.
And after the 8 hour course of squalls we have "all you can eat" of
tragically disorganized seas.

The seas straightened out a little bit, but we've been bashing into
waves for the last 24 hours. We have 22 kts true wind about 75
degrees on our port side so we've got about 25-27 kts at 50-60
apparent into 5-8 foot seas. Not pleasant, but we're making good time
with just a double reefed main and a staysail.

Only 150 miles to Anegada, then the seas should smooth out a bit.
With luck we'll be in Virgin Gorda by late Tuesday morning.
