Day 11 - Beam reaching

Thursday 2nd November. About 250 nm to go.
Another pleasent sunny day, beam reaching in 12-15 knots of wind. The weather gods appear to have one more hurdle for us. Tonight the wind will veer and increase, with 25-30 knot gusts and 4m waves from dead behind.
Donald is still incapacitated in his bunk. The medics have prescibed various drugs from our limited pharmacy, but as yet no real improvement. Some might wonder how we even have access to a pharmacy for prescription drugs. This is possible by a subscription we have to a telemedical support service, which provides 24 hour access to a doctor and the drugs kit, which they supplied. I believe when entering some countries the presense of the kit must be declared and customs will then lock and bond the kit until you leave.
Probably be soup again tonight as that is about all Donald can eat.
