I was woken up by Marty around 0600 to help put another reef in the Main. I could tell during the night that the winds were picking up. I think the main problem is that the seas are hitting us more or less on our beam which means that we are prone to breaching and yawing as we go over from trough to crest of the waves. If the waves were much bigger, we would be forced to alter course and cut through them more head on.
It has been a wet day and the waves crashing over us is getting the entire upper deck wet. We also have some minor leaks through some of the hatches.
Tonight the generator stalled out and I helped Peter try to fix it by bleeding air out out the injectors. It didn't work.
I went to bed to rest up for the 2200 to 0100 watch but I couldn't sleep because it was way too hot and Peter says the fans draw to much current.
