Where are my tradewinds?

We are where we are supposed to be, now where is the wind?

Last night around 2AM (of course) we hit a squall or some type of front and get rain and winds 35k+. Down went all the sails except for the staysail and we still went 5.5-6 knots. This lasted for several cold dark hours. Felt like being back in the pacific NW.

This morning after the sun comes up the wind dies than backs to the NW. Northwest? We should have NE winds. Nice downwind sailing is what we were told! Hopefully the wind veers and we can head more west and less south.

We did get some NE winds yesterday and spent all day sailing wing on wing with a poled out Genoa. So not all bad winds. Good thing we had the pole down before the winds kicked up though.
