Despite the clear skies, it's incredibly windy tonight (again). At this point, the tent is trying to lift off and blow away. The big rocks I placed in the tent are keeping it down, but they're starting to wear through the tent fabric. I hope I can get enough sleep inside the noisy tent.

I'm tired, so I manage to fall asleep easily around 23h30, despite my tent flapping in the gusty winds, but I keep waking up during the night for extended periods of time.
