BRITISH SOLDIER ARC BLOG - DAY 8 (SUN 28 NOV)

The last 36 hours has been a real bash and a slog for British Soldier and
her
crew as we've experienced Gale Force 8 winds (45 knots +) and massive steep
and confused seas. Everythig below decks is wet and damp, whilst on deck,
the boat is contiually swept fore and aft by waves coming over the bow. And
it's pretty cold too! Suffice to say conditions are pretty grim and whilst
morale isn't particularly jolly at the moment, there is a steadfast resolve
amongt the crew to get the job done. We can only dream of more favourable
conditions to come...

At the time of typing we've got 1800 miles left to go having completed 900
miles, so 1/3 of the trip complete. More tomorrow when we hope to have more
benign conditions.
