Message From GARYJESSOP

Good bye Qingdao, Good morning Japan,Hello the Pacfic
Qingdao what a lovey good bye,found myself with media handing over charity money from all the crews .We then set sail first around the mark and onwards for just a few miles,the wind stopped.Then the adventure started,no wind-anchor-snow-snowball fights on deck-smallwind and building-all sails used-repaired pime winch,yankee 2,kites light&mid,,jockey pole & spin pole hurt,h20 maker not working,seapro nav system down,gen not running well.
It may seem like a lot and it is ,everyone on board is pulling their weight which is great, no hidden stash's of food/drink and everyone respecting the weight rules which is great.We are sailing well just a few hickups at present nd a present in the top three,it may be hard to hold this with our on going repairs but we will never give up.
Seen some wonderful sights sailing around the bottom of Japan on a misty morning as the sun rises and into the Japan current then heaiding into the Pacific,We have had speeds of 24kts and a 12 hour run of 160 nm on our log but HQ had it as 147 nm .. still pretty good eh.. so today is day 9 and another 2900nm miles togo ...how many days wil it take us?
Both watch's workng well and good to see Marcus up on deck for a change.
A couple of goodbyes;Mr Steve Pirate Pang,Vee,Carlo,Kay the shrink,joseph who will be back in santa cruz,Ang,Phil
