Sailing into a Gale: Solomons to Australia WHSE140

Do I wait in the Louisades with barely a connection to the outside world, or brave a gale to get to Australia? In this episode of bluewater sailing, I get waves crashing over the whole boat and filling the cockpit, get stuck in a shipping lane, and almost hit a ship. It's a rough crossing!
