Friday night the wind died again below 8 knts but the sea remained rough, the boat just will not sail down wind in these condition with white sails, many sail combination tried and tried , in the end gave up at 7am and went to bed.

Put up Pink geneker this morning, but it got ripped on a sharp fitting up the mast , we suspect the failed parts. Looks too difficult to repair at sea (sorry jasper) but not too difficult for the sailmakers.

So the only sail left Code 0 went up, not really meant for downwind , but we got it to work, then came loads of squals and lots of wind so it came down and normal sails back up....

As I wite another squall and loads of rain, tony is having wash on deck..

Gues what....no fish

We expect to finish Monday Pm....at last

no emails today !!! 11 beers left,

best john
