Well done and well told. I’m sure you know the saying to the effect that “rough weather is 5kts more than the worst you have been in”…. Good that you are now more confident in the boat and more importantly in the crew. I’ve heard many valiant owners ( and other solid offshore boats) say that the boat can usually take much more than the crew.

Fair winds!

Excellent ending to the storm story. Much better than a story about how you were dismasted and floundering for hours until you saw the lights of the Coast Guard Helicopter…
We like happy endings.
