We had no wind & prayed for wind and it came, a little late but it came alright.In the last few hours we have been flying the wind seeker(ideal for very light airs/basiclly no wind).Then we got excited & changed to yankee1,within minutes we had to drop reef and hoist the yankee 2 as the wind started to build, again within minutes we had to reef again drop the yankee2 and hoist the yankee 3.. wait for it ...... yep then within minutes again the wind was at 35kts,we had to drop the yankee 3 and go alone on stay sail and main with 2 reefs. All on my watch, however Chris's watch did come and help, a great team perfomance was had by all .
So feeling pretty tired hanking on and off the sails/hoisting and all, but a great feeling to get under power again and on our way.
31 07.5 N 138 03.8 W 870nm to go .. still a long way to g ..... and too much wind
