Update

Bearing: nil
Boat Speed: nil
Wind Direction: north
Wind Strength:25 to 30 knots
Sea state: big seas 3.5 M

Other points of interest:
as expected the strong north wind came in last night and by late morning today we decided to put out the sea anchor and wait for this weather to blow past
It is amazing to be held steady to the wind in one spot in the middle of the ocean by the parachute and 300 feet of nylon line
may be here 24v hours or so
