Hi All
Further update for you all as follows:-
The young agile chaps on this boat did what can only be described as an amazing job up on the bow and at mast earlier, we now have the sail removed from the loose forestay furler and stowed away and the loose forestay furler is lashed at the bow out of the way so we now have a boat in much more control. We ave full main up & storm jib sailing fast directly at the Noumea reef entrance which is under 60nm away, once through the entrance its about 12nm up through to the finish. Breeze is full on trade winds here …
So we are still racing and intend to finish albeit a little later than originally hoped.
Blink finally came through us although she took a lomg time to do so also she did spectacular chinese gybe near us so they backed off after that …
All being well next report will be after we are tied up to the dock something we are all looking forward to very much…
Stephanie and Royce’s stew is on the stove for serving up shortly.
Which reminds me thanks to Selina for last nights supper delight …
Cheers for now from Equilibrium
