Day 35 Part Two

Winds continued to blow at a steady 40 knots with higher gusts. 

Towards the end of the evening we mustered on deck to set the forejib. We got it hoisted, but before we could get it sheeted a gust of some 50 knots shook it and it tor into shreds. Also broke a very large wooden cleat. I happened to get it on video.
