Another very slow night, most of the time two to four knots of breeze, and sailing most of the time with a drifter up. |
Chris Nicholson came up with a complicated but brilliant plan. Try to fix the ram with other bolts and hope that the seals inside are not too damaged. |

It's not the spirit, but they picked up on it. They've done their homework. |
The ride was fantastic, nearly all the boats were doing 30 knots, the sun was shining, you can't wish for anything better for sailing. |
We can see the Pirates, and they are gaining very quick. From a small dot on the horizon two hours ago, to a sizeable boat. |
With a very confused sea and the boat slamming into the waves, crawling through the boat is probably the safest way of moving around, because the movements are very abrupt and unexpected. |
