TELEFONICA BLUE EMAIL: 'A little better but still one man down'

Bouwe Bekking, Skipper

The guys starting to feel a little better but still one man down, Daryl is still not well. Jordi has been repairing the spinnaker, which is a nearly impossible task, as he gets bounced around in the bow.

We had some exiting sailing last night, with puffs up to 40 knots, ‘hang on boys’. Now the breeze is dropping, and our spinnaker is still in bits, it will take at least another 10 hours, so we will lose some distance. We have been hanging in ok, similar distance runs, it helps when you sail in the same piece of water. So not much happening, everybody is still a bit tired as they have to stand in for the sailmakers. Also the eating is not going too well for some of us yet, but hope this will get better in a few days.

Cheers,
