overnight

At dusk last night squalls appeared on the horizon and rapidly over took me as it got dark. This brought a change of wind direction and for about an hour or two I was able to maintain a course about 100° .but I also had to reef down to a 2nd reef on both main & genny as the wind was over 20 knots. The wind eventually clocked back to where it was originally. If you look at my track from last night you can see me adjusting course many times to battle the changing wind direction. At first light everything seems settled back to where it was so I shook out the reefs (actually kept a 1st reef on the main). Pulling weather now hoping that I'll see more wind direction like last night again. Fingers crossed.
