Leg 6, Race 9 - Day 18

This mothers day was a strange day, with not having the usual reminders in every shop. But James R was cool and we supported each other through, as the 20th was the date his dad died so it was a tough few days on that front but good memories too and thats part of why we are both here anyway!
The gremlins are definitely causing grief only out here we know them as Honey Badgers! no idea why though!!! We have a broken pulpit (front of the boat) and little leaks everywhere are causing lots of water in the boat and therefore lots of bucketing it out!! Joy!! oh and now our instruments wind, speed, direction are not working as often as they Should! tricky!! Also My boots...They now have a hole in the toe (as do Sam Lloyds) absolute rubbish and Dubarry told Sam Normal wear and tear! Although some good news is that my choc supply has survived, i never really envisaged any water damage but i suppose dry bags are not always waterproof!! However no major sweet loss, so no disaster!!
We are close to getting to the 2000 mile to go mark (10 days to 2 weeks) its a long slog! cant wait for san fran! 
Well its Chilli and a special apple crumble for dinner no weight loss for me then!!
