away from this system, not a great angle but its the right thing to

few minutes my heart ends up in my mouth as I feel the boat suspended
above a wave trough...then we come crashing down. At night it is
something else....?'

Is there a way to plot to plot the weather on the same map with the
boats? I'm curious why the ones further west are headed south... diving
into the system? They're already going a lot faster ( 14 kt vs 9 )

I will sincerely tip my hat to anybody for gybing one of those boats in
40 knot winds.
