Squalls continue

We had squalls all last night. The morning came with a thick overcast and rain. The squalls cleared out in the late morning and by 2pm we were sailing. Very nice to shut off the motor. But we could see thick dark clouds on the horizon and now we're again immersed in squalls. At the moment we're beating into 18-20 of true wind and headed for South America.

The forecast is that tomorrow the wind will back (i.e., shift from ENE to NW) and we'll turn north.

ETA: Thursday night.
