Gail force winds and mountainous seas have made
this a night not to forget. With the added uncertainty of the rope repair to the
boom made it a unique ordeal !
The repair has held out and the winds have
decreased to manageable levels, however we are felt with a very confused sea
which makes us slam in to waves that make the whole boat shudder. We are making
way as best we can while trying to take care of the boat. Matt did mention some
hours ago when we were looking for the least benefit of our situation - we are
now within Helicopter rescue range !
We have both been up all night and are now taking
it in turns to have an hour in a wet bunk. The moon has also had enough and gone
to bed to leave a black night.
Tomorrow or rather today looks to be a lot better
with regard to the weather, lets hope for many sailing miles for a
change.....
