Distance to St Helena Island: unknown and not of interest.

1st Waypoint: 21 25 07.179S; 009 11 07.234E

Heading 302˚M

Uncomfortable sailing on beam reach.

Frequent slamming from a cross swell on top of a prevailing SE swell. Tuya sick. Zaya and Stew queezy but OK.

Overcast, but enough sun to charge batteries for night time radar etc.

Still cold. Lunchtime set staysail to weather bow and took in second reef in foresail. Evening doused the foresail. Still doing 6-8 knots under staysail without so much slamming.

3am major roguey slammed port hull midships sending Zaya out of her bed onto cockpit floor. Eggs flying in cabin. All else fine.

Decided to run deep to reduce strain on boat.
