Thank you.

Think they just wanted to take advantage of a good wind but not get where they were going too fast.

Wish I could do that nautical stuff.
It's not a storm jib. It's something odd hoisted on the spinnaker halyard. That boat has a roller furling jib, which is rolled up. A storm jib would be hoisted up the forestay with the jib lanyard, and would be used in heavy winds to keep the stern of the boat into the wind - running downwind. If shit gets really bad, you drop a sea anchor off the font of the boat so the bow stays into the wind.

They could actually be at anchor and just using that sail to keep them downwind off the anchor in a current.

But they most likely are a short case into the day, and in no hurry.
