Sailed Saturday

Had a good time, the wind was sure blowing, was in the mid 50"s temp wise...the front was just finishing passing thru, we had the 222 leaning 50 degrees with the small jib and full mainsail, no reefing, at one time... It got a little scarry, i thought we might jibe anytime,the wind would hit, diminish then hit again harder from a different direction.  the boat did really well and sailed nice, now i know why you strap every thing down in the cabin, everything was flopping around down there, even the porta potie flipped over when we had her leaned over to the windows...lol.   At the start we were just using the mainsail, it seemed fine, i think the jib added some confusion in the windy conditions, anyone have any input as their stratigy in different conditions???
