Today things are a lot calmer.  After us all having a a good nights sleep (we left the boat sailing herself checking every hour) we woke up to calm seas and no wind so motored for about 4 hours.  As a result of mororing we had hot water, which meant a lovely shower this afternoon and some clean clothes!
 
The boys have managed to do a great job repairing the spray hood with dental floss and ducktape!  If you look carefully you can see how fast we are going (7.2kts), and in the right direction too. The sea has been quite flat all day - so we are having a great sail - although it has now started to rain, and the waves look as though they are getting bigger - oh well - here we go again, we new it wouldn't last for too long!!
