Mar 28 Enroute to Pitcairn "All or nothing!"

Position: S28deg06min/W118deg43min. Day 5's run: 124 nm. After 19 hours of motoring, then sitting around with no wind at all for the next 8 hours, the wind finally found us! We've reduced sail to a triple reefed main, have a storm jib hanked to the staysail stay, and a very small handkerchief of a jib out. Seas are 10'-12' along with the 22 knots of SE wind, which peaked at 28 knots in a gust. The swells are on our aft quarter and we're rolling quite a bit. Well, another day or so of the same thing and we should be over the top of this bad stuff and the wind is forecast to drop to less than 5 knots then! It's all or nothing! Sue says if you like roller coaster rides, you'd really enjoy this one...except it doesn't stop and you can't get off! (She says really IS enjoying this; and the moon lit nights are beautiful).
