Ship's Log:
Very lumpy 24hrs.
Most of yesterday was spent motorsailing into a 20-35kt head wind. Grace did well though. This morning at 0400hrs we lowered the trysail and jumbo and continued under the fore alone. Prior to lowering our lee rail was in and out of the water and spray was covering the decks. Grace felt safe and did well in these conditions. At 1100hrs we were making good speed again towards our destination. At 1630hrs our anchor found the bottom in Bahia del Coco.
We are all looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight.
