Mark Rudiger tell a similar story from Assa Abloy
I was awakened this morning from a hot muggy sleep with a new violent motion. Assa Abloy was jumping up and down, jerking for and aft, and pitching like crazy.

I half fell, half crawled into the navigation station and tried to focus on the computer screen. We were racing along in 23 knots of wind doing 15 to 19 knots right at the mark. Glancing at the radar, the motion made sense. There were large squall formations all around creating confused seas and radical wind shifts. As we speak it's pouring rain and we're getting a puff header. Magnus (Olsson) is fighting to hold course with the masthead kite until the wind shifts back again.

Can't write too much more at the minute, need to figure out updated crossing point and how to play squalls the best.
