This passage was an upwind battle against the prevailing North-East trade winds, which were consistent at Force 3 to 5, with gusts reaching up to Force 6 during squalls. The most challenging aspect was the sea state, as you were sailing into a significant North Atlantic swell from the north or north-northwest, with waves of 2-3 meters and a short period of around 8 seconds, causing the boat to constantly slam and pound.
