								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just picked up cell service.  Crazy night last night.  We spent the   whole night running from squalls that lined up 20 miles off key west.    Had big seas and blew out two sails in the thunderstorms we couldn&#8217;t   avoid.  Made good time at first but light winds for about 24 hours.    Only motored the last 30 miles or so though.  We got about 2 hours of   sleep each in 15 min catnaps.  Delerious.  Soo ready to sleep.  About   2 hours until we drop anchor.</p>
