Other points of interest:
All is well
the situation - a retired teacher and a retired vet ( no pressing dates to get back to work ! ) sit under the sun ( 26 degrees today) eating a delicious home prepared freezer meal ( thanks Denise ) , discussing keenly important matters like the meaning of life whilst listening to Edith Piaf songs wafting from the new waterproof cockpit speakers
It can't be bad !

With regard to the weather - Ted has sailed about 13,000 offshore ocean miles over the years and I have sailed about 5,000 now.
Neither of us can remember such short , high, steep, constant seas for a such a wind of not too extreme speed. It has to be the intense Bogi Walu keeping the seas up and probably a counter current. Off course the seas have to be coming from the wrong direction - otherwise we would be romping over the ocean

However yesterdays forecast was much more encouraging - we may even have to get back to sailing soon
