I turned the agressiveness down on my autopilot. It saved a lot of energy. I am not sure that can be done in really wild seas but in calmer times it means you don't track a straight line so much as oscillate side to side a little more. I think that it saves wear on the rudder a good bit.

I've seen much larger waters sailing here around Kauai. One big difference is this water is warm ! And we may be in a remote area, but not like what you are headed for. The local conditions preclude much 'pleasure' boating here. Its just too rough to be relaxing. I hope you are staying 'tied off' ! I've been 'over-board' due to failed hardware ! (the music from the movie 'Jaws' rises in your ears about the time your butt hits the water). I had a crewman who was at the helm go over-board. It was very late on a beautiful afternoon. As I sailed away from him I failed to realize that the low angle of the sun would completely make him invisible as I came about on the reverse heading. When I realized how impaired my observational ability would be, I just started yelling at the top of my lungs. (''I want to hear something from you''!!!). About that time his bobbing head appeared out of the golden glare and he was recovered with out much of a struggle. Remember, bad things happen fast. It's always better to plan ahead for the worst, so, when it happens, you are as prepared as you can be. I grew up alpine skiing, so the 'out of control/going too fast' of heavy weather was always met with some big laughs. I finally got a broken lumbar vertebrae in a pitchpole. I'm still laughing about that. My crew were all shot into the air/water. I was fastened to the boat, and my restraint inflicted a whiplash injury when the big crash (running down wind overpowered) happened. We came up the back of a large swell, and could not bare-off because we were already over powered and sailing in a down wind luff to slow down. The swell was stacked up high prior to breaking to a white-cap. We dove into the trough and the world changed with a bang.

The speed of your boat got my attention. Getting into double digit speeds is very impressive. After looking at your information, it sounds like you raced sailboats in the Great Lakes. Can you talk a little about your boat? Did your experience racing help guide your boat selection? It seems like the boat is faster than most other monohull cruising sailboats. Was there a tradeoff between performance and comfort? Is there anything that you would have done differently?

Great video as usual. I kind of get a feeling being onboard together with you. A somewhat more technical alternative, when you waited five minutes before deciding on the sail change (at the end of the episode) - can you use the electronic barometer you have onboard? Today's electronic sensors are extremely sensitive, typically around 0.1 mbar. Thus, if no indicative pressure isobars approaching, no change in wind - thus do sail change. Maybe something to test out if it works on Sweet Ruca. Cheers.

Had a large loop sewn into topside and a loong boat hook handy on Stern Quarter to scoop him up b4 having to tack boat. Spare (Kite) Halyard to lift out a 43+Kilo wringing wed mongrel. Cats were easier. Long towel on stern Quarter at night, and let him know where it is. Have you seen how fast a cat can swim to the boat and race up the wet towel.
