Right you are. We did not get any pictures of the rough day. LP was hanging
on too carefully and it was to the point where I was being overpowered in
the gusts where I had to luff up from time to time till the gusts passed.
There were plenty of white horses all over. The pics shown depict the
conditions where the wind was from 10-20 knots.
There were still some left-over seas of 4-5 feet in the Gulf Stream but they
were big rollers and not steep. In the four pics from the movie in the Gulf
Stream there is a four-footer rolling by. Cameras tend to minimize the size
of waves because they get them from above.

Neal,
Thanks for the pics!! Nice! Looks like you had a nice sail.
Crappy, I didn't see a single "White Cap" or a reefed Sail. I was
expecting to see winds in the thirties. All the pictures you showed are
"Gentle Breeze" conditions. Nothing wrong with that but you were talking
about 3 to 4 foot waves and winds in the thirties. Looks like everything
was under 12 knots. GREAT for sailing.
Thanks again,
Ole Thom
