Thank you everyone for the great advice! I've now got a little more work to do before we leave Provo!

Paul, When in the Indian Ocean Bay of Bengal we encountered a Cyclone with 50ish knots and about 7 meter waves. It's a long story, but we ran with this cyclone in an anti-clockwise direction for 5
