Single-hand sailing a Catalina 42 from Lake Michigan to the Caribbean with windy and bumpy conditions following Hurricane Ophelia. Solomons is a quick stop, Reedville, Virgina, and landing in Deltaville - a great place to be on the hook. Mostly sailing in quartering seas, eating saltines and ginger snaps to stay upright, and washing them down with Canada Dry ginger ale. A troublesome roller furler requires a remedy and stays get tightened during a quick stopover. Full contact sailing with a beautiful anchorage here and there along the way -- which is what a sailor needs after quartering seas.
