Sorry if this is incoherent on arriving in a quarantine
dock where we are not allowed to leave until negative PCR which we will
hopefully get this afternoon with results 24 hours later as we have finished a
bottle of 30% rum punch given to us on arrival.
We finished at 12.11.33 on 11 December which is just
after 8 in the morning here. Run in was good and got a warm torrential shower in
final mile, which photographer said lives up to the name. The finish boat also
said he enjoyed our finish as best he has seen in years cutting in close to the
headland into the bay. Trip distance was 2829 nm in 19 days 23.5 hours
racing.
Just checked all our sails. 4 need repairs. Code 0 from
first night 10 foot tear, Jib has luff tape tear only seen when taken down,
black spinnaker foot tear 6 feet and the pink spinnaker that was up 6 days with
being dropped has some holes in it no doubt where it has been rubbing the
forestay.
Land we found very wobbly.
Dinner who knows.
