Storm Sailing!

We've had a pretty interesting 48 hours as two nights ago due to a storm that came off Oman we were hit with the 35 knots and 3 meter seas (with many that we're much higher!) that the boats ahead of us were reporting. It was one of the roughest 24 hours we've had as the waves were hitting us from the side and pretty much breaking over the boat...very exciting.

Blue Moon performed fantastically though and we pushed on through without any problems except for a few leaks, us having complete lack of sleep and the odd bruise here and there. Last night the seas dropped enough for us to get some rest and by this morning the worse had passed over and believe it or not it's now flat calm and we're motoring ~ from one extreme to another!

We now have just 58 miles to go to port so should arrive first thing tomorrow morning.
