20-30 kts for 4-5 days is not enough wind to make 11 fter's in 12,000
ft of water?


You're a liar, Joe. That particular cold front had winds in the 20-30 knot
range for ONLY about 18 hours. After that, they veered to the NE and E and
died down quite quickly. Had you not panicked and called for a premature
evacuation you could have broad reached then run home. Like I said, you
should have hove-to and rode out the little cold front instead of stubbornly
trying to stay on schedule by bashing into it. Dummy! You are no sailor -
just another motor head.
