Double Crossed at Crossing

…despite double, triple checking multiple weather apps.  First, we hit a mega squall 5 miles out – 30mph winds, pelting rain, 50 feet visibility, thunder and lightning, dogs sleeping with cats!  Powered through that, then clear skies and smooth waters….until 10 pm.  4-5 foot swells slamming B2 bow on. B2 did great!  We did not. 45 min shifts, barf, lay down, repeat for 9 hours.  Rolled in 22 hours and 171 miles later.  Recovering from PTSD, we took showers and a nap.  Like labor, pain forgotten as we are smitten with this tank of a boat.
