Very rough day

First 6 hours from Freeport extremely rough, once in the shadow of the Berry islands the seas calmed to almost flat, lost my wind shortly after the berry’s The waves pounded water in through the seal on the front hatch, and the dorado vents. Never experienced being covered in crystallized salt!
