At this time the crew Tchouk Tchouk fight to keep his place before the entire fleet ...
Tonight we were seen with the A 35 of Neve and the wind started turning right.
- By early evening, we slumped code 5 and we sent the large asymmetrical spinnaker.
- Very hard to steer with long surfs at 11 knots. I've been trying to get in the starboard bunk. Failing to sleep, I asked Danny if it's going and he says he is in the red.
- I'm putting on my waterproof when the boat starts to luff. Result: the spinnaker in a casserole on the forestay.
- Black night and strong winds.
- Danny climbs up the mast and managed to untangle the spinnaker. Unfortunately, time and lowering the latter splits into a thousand shreds!
- We put everything away and it sends the heavy spinnaker: the wind is up a notch. And the long processions with a constant speed to 11 knots and surfing at 15. It's stressful and exhausting.
Tonight we recovered a little and the pilot took over. We need to raise but the ranking of 16 h has boosted morale. We're still in the race. We will have to plunge to the south in 24 hours
full toilet this afternoon ladies! I feel the baby wipe from head to foot. We only have only 2 chocolate creams, so we keep them.
I kiss you! Ed &
