Sailing a Catamaran in the Caribbean

So at points. I tried to open exit hatch to get airflow, but then get woken up by rain coming down on my face. So that.

I have to shut it. I have to say. I think that my first trip to Ireland definitely gave me my first little bit of sea legs the movement that.
