What a night/Quelle nuit

The night was crazy, squalls, big short swell, the wind all over the place. We gibed a couple of times, and then decided to stay on port tack, 120 degrees from the apparent wind.
The conditions improved a bit this morning, the swell dropped a bit, and we are on the route!

La nuit a ete dingue, grosse houle courte, le vent dans tous les sens. On a empanne plusieurs fois, puis on a decide de rester babord amure, a 120 degres du vent appparent.
Les conditions se sont ameliorees ce matin, la houle est un peu tombee, et on est sur la route!
