A low point last night saw the Owl struggling through 30 knot squals and crew fighting to drop and secure the mainsail on a bucking bronco boat before heading down wind under head sail alone. Sadly during the process the skipper received a boom bump on the head and whilst he's alright saiing has currently ceased to be his favourite pastime.
We still have 412 miles to go but are planning a 300 mile fancy dress party with cocktails on the poop deck although in reality a clean shirt and a warm beer may have to suffice.
Life on the Owl is taking it's twit twoooooooooooooooooll
