Another terrible 24 hours. The winds have been 25 to 30 all yesterday and all night with resulting high seas. The Autopilot died in the afternoon yesterday. Because the wind pilot / hydrovane had not been working I had decided to leave the rudder off for this trip. Sooo with 25 to 30 knt winds and a heavy confused swell the transom had to be lowered with me hanging off the end trying to fit the rudder. Everything fitted, main at 3rd reef and stay sail up the thing worked a charm all the way to the Fiji weigh point. 85 miles to go and it has been a real gruler we will both be extremely happy when this one is over.
