Needing to be back in Pula at the end of this week and given an announced storm for the end of the week, we decided to go for a one shot night sailing from Sibenik to Rab, a 90 nm ride. The choice was based on the forecast of a medium Bora episode with winds around 14 m/s (28 knots) during the night that would allow us to sail 7 to 8 knots so as to reduce the time to cover the 90 miles to go.

It worked as expected, under 2 reefs and trinquette (staysail), but the episode lasted much longer than anticipated...
