When the wind died suddenly and turned it was an additional heads-up something major was about to hit. Turning on both engines and 2000 revs helped us manage the situation of being turned as the wind climbed to 30 knots from beam on port to beam on starboard in 30 seconds. Otherwise the trip was pretty uneventful and mostly by sail. Hello Sardegna - Menorca we are on our way.
