Jaqueline keeps riding the freight train

man, the last 36 hours have been like riding the freight train to Omaha. it just keeps going and going. Good solid 20 knots plus  quartering wave train does wonders for progress, not so great for comfort. i have spent a lot more time in the cabin on this race so far. i monitor the world from a perch at the top of the companionway steps. thank God for APs.
i lost control of the flag halyard yesterday. poor seamanship on my part not tying it down properly. seems harmless but watched it start to wrap around and tangle halyards aloft and got my ass in gear to go forward and try to retrieve it. got very lucky and got a hand on it. all is good. just shows how the smallest error in prep can lead to bad things.
