Flying fish and squalls

We were pleased with our 3rd place over the scoring gate yesterday and the 1 point awarded, although Henri Lloyd just zoomed past to get the 2 points, I am told that Great Britain are the team to watch and that they are making up good ground!

Katherine from Australia got hit in the face by a flying fish the other day! and yesterday we were joined by 2 swallows flying south for the winter, one of them kept flying through the open hatch, then last night we had some squalls so we went on deck, collected the rain water for showers and I washed my greasy hair which is a lot better now!

Today it has again been very hot and progress has slowed down a bit, we are having times with no wind then getting hit by gusts of it, I have just been part way up the mast to repair a tear in the sail just above the boom, In my next blog I shall tell you about all the different sails we have on board.
