sad gennaker

At first light I went out to check on things. After being so proud of myself on getting the gennaker furled in the heavy wind, in spite of the bottom being fueled very well, the top of the sail worked loose some and the edge fluttered so much it tore the tensioning line out :-(
In retrospect I should have fought taking it down last night as I had to do it this morning anyway in 30 knots of wind. The weather reports that I should be in 10 knots of wind right now; I beg to differ.
989 miles to Flores.
