Life is tough at the moment, its cold, very wet and strong winds and big seas, but the boat and crew are up for it and we will be fine, Everyone is in reasonable spirits given the conditions which appears not to be the case for all boats (if you read some of their blogs by all accounts!)

bread tin flip onto its side while baking!! still tasted good, im never buying bread again by the way!
Had my first real medic job, TJ's nose, he is fine (dented pride and nose) I ended up using steristrip to stitch his nose back together. Did you see my initial repair job being removed the next morning! That was a little scary, my first broach! I committed my first crash gybe the day before and we had broken (but repaired) a spinnaker halliard (hoisting rope), our vang (holds the boom down), although the repairs failed 3 times before we got it sorted, a few other small bits and then last night (as you will have heard) our steering!, The thought of 2000 miles under emergency steering (taking 5 people just to steer) was not good, but skipper and Mike got it sorted in a few hours! it was a "all hands on deck" shout while my watch (the Slim Jins to compliment the "Tele tubbies" jin being jim and Tele being Terry in mandarin) was asleep! Pants!!
