Brave Mazu learns to lean into the rolls of the boat as it rolls side to side.
She went twice on the boat but waited for land for #2.  We were at sea 3 days.
Dinners were in bowls. Drinks were in bottles.  Did manage to scamble eggs with the gimbled stove.  That means the stove sways to stay level as the boat rolls.  We had 4 hour watches.  Thank God for auto pilot.  Just really have to watch the radar for other boats, especially commercial tankers and super large cargo ships.  Stay out of shipping lanes.  We only saw 2 boats in 3 days.  Most were not out in this wind.  We saw 30 k winds.  We reefed in.  The wind was to our back so we went wing and wing with the sails.
