The word phrase 'we were sailing only a small storm jib and were still making 8 knots' refers to the fact that the family and the ship are able to keep up their speed up to eight nautical per hour. A small jib means nautical used in a storm to reduce the sail area to its minimum requirement for maintaining the manoeuvrability of the vessel.
