safely in turtle bay

Less than 48 hours later, our boat was first in class, first to finish on our first leg!!
It was windy, a steady 20-25 knots with gusts to 30 pretty much the whole way. Our first night, we had a few hours of no wind, and just floating, but that is pretty much it. There were big, confused seas for most of the time, but we surfed well. The second evening we blew up our one good spinnaker. The head tore clean off and the whole thing went in the water. We have a great crew, though, and the sail didn´t go under the boat, we got it aboard relatively quick. The rest of the way, we sailed with the jib wing-on-wing or just the mainsail. We still were going along at a steady 10 knots the whole way.
I got some time behind the wheel and did okay. I definitely was the weakest driver, but the only thing that will solve that is more time behind the wheel!!!
The crew is great, everyone gets along well, we eat well, and I´m sleeping like a log every chance I get.
Last night was our first night at anchor and it’s still gusting like hell in the bay
Other boats didnt´fair as well as we did. One boat even sank, with everyone safe. Evidently a particularly aggressive whale rammed them for about 7 minutes straight  and they deployed the liferaft, set off the epirb and 2 hours later were lifted off by a Coast Guard helicopter. Everyone is safely in San Diego. One other boat was hit by a rogue wave and a guy there got a couple broken ribs and a bump on the head. He´s doing well too. All in all this was the windiest Ha-Ha- to date, and I couldn´t ask for a better boat to be on. I really lucked out.
Sorry this is such a brief update promise lots of pictures and great stories when I get to Cabo.
