13-19 knots wind, 4 ft the waves. Washing machine waves between islands. Took MB bathroom door off hinges. We tried to sail the gennaker sail but put the lines on the inside of the railing which was not right. We tightened the sail by the wench and broke the lock that the line runs through as the wind was too powerful. It left us scrambling in huge waves as Monica pointed us up wind and Michael, Monica, and I tried to pull the sail down onto the boat in large swells. We used only the jib and avg. 3.5-4 knots. Monica and I put the jib down, hoisted the mainsail, and then put the jib back out, and avg, 5-6 knots. Winds were from 120 degrees and so moved the main out and avg 6-9 knots. We pulled into St. Pierre about 25 mins after sundown and anchored in 4m.
