When the wind started to increase last night to 15kts we doused our spinnaker and continued under white sails. Anxiously monitoring an electrical storm developing during the night leeward from us we watched the wind to increase in speed and gusting up to 30kts. Rain and confused seas added to a sleepless and wet night for everyone on board. But this developing low pressure system should move to the northeast of us and we are expecting the trades to gradually set in over the next 24 hours.
