Hi.Been at sea fo 24 hours. Timed our exit from the marina perfectly yesterday  - in a thunderstorm. Soaking wet before a sail went up.
The gun went at 11.0am and by 12.15pm our spinnaker halyard had broken and the boys had to retrieve the sail from the "sea"side of the boat, in great danger of a triple man overboard. Only minor problems since then. Winds hovering around 20 knots, seas up to 10 feet, a touch of mal de mer and damp. Weather set to improve'( for me) later today with lessening wind and hopefully less excited seas. These  are making food preparation difficult, fridge door snaps shut on your head, saucepans fly out of the cupboard, whole meals reach the recipient via the floor..... The latter is not a problem as they are later vomited over the side of the boat.
 
Lots of love from the excellent sailing team and galley rat xxxx Jos
