Not a good day
Here is where they are now.
Unfortunately, they had a lousy time getting there. A big squall rolled right over the top of them and kept them "busy" all day. It sounds like it slammed them. The mainsail tore, but Frank says the rip is below the first reef, so they reefed it in and it's still usable. Also, the compressor on the refrigerator went out (probably unrelated to the weather). I assume they'll still be able to use the engine to cool their food. If not, they might have a pretty boring diet for a couple of days.
Things have calmed down now (they're back on the engine and only doing 4 knots), so they're going to take turns getting some much needed rest.
