We have had another day hard on the wind struggling to keep boat speed up. Life heeling over remains hard and the crew look forwards to my promise coming true of eased sheets and fast speeds all the way to Punta del Este. This morning I had a first on a Clipper 70. Toni Wilson fell out of the Nav Station and landed in my bunk, waking me up with a head butt - thanks!
Since last night we have been sprinting. I'm not sure we have the weather to win this one but, even if we don't, I always relish the opportunity to sail the boat flat out for 300 miles. Speeds are currently mid 10's but hopefully a backing wind can help increase the average.
