Comments: The weather was unexpectedly harsh yesterday and it blew very hard all night. I woke at 5:00 and it is still blowing. I had planned to put up the jib this morning, but will have to wait. I will cut the new sheets and cover them with the anti-chaffing material. I was supposed to have the hull cleaned, but I am not sure that is happening with the wind rocking the boat. I made new sheets for the jib, covered them with a Dyneema sheath to keep them from chafing, and raised/furled the jib. I started to transfer fuel when the people arrived to clean the hull. The last time I got the hull cleaned was as in Vanuatu in July, five months ago.
