Lost the topping lift overnight. It parted at the top of
the mast after
having chaffed through, suspect on the mainhalyard block. K and C quickly knocked up an alternative which should get us to Antigua without having to go up the mast. Beatiuful rainbow under a nearby raincloud. Never seen aything like it quite before. Observation number 4 - cause for concern Although thus far all has been plain sailing, not everything has been plain sailing in the metaphorical sense. In particular, it has been observed that Led is getting a bit frisky. Both Colin and Ant are growing beards as a defense mechanism, but sadly the Doc has been reluctant to administer sureptitious doses of Bromide - aka 'Lead preventer' (not to be confused with the Led preventer, a handy device of Led's invention to prevent sails doing things they aren't supposed to do) |
