Khulula is cruising along in some fairly uncomfortable conditions. The squash zone between the NE Pacific high and remanent low pressure is giving us plenty of wind and rough seas. We (mostly Moose and Serena) have been doing quite a lot of hand steering in the past 12 hours to keep the boat from getting tossed around too much. The skys are over cast and a few squalls have given us 35 kts + of wind. Fortunately its only forecast to last another 24 hours.
