Not long now until we arrive in Sydney! Although the wind has dropped, hopefully some time early hours of the 13th, Australian time. It's strange to think this section of Leg 4 is already over and the next race will be the big one: The Sydney-Hobart race in 2 weeks time, where we will probably experience some intense racing. Matt is keen for us all to specialise in some of the jobs on board for this, so we might have our best helmers and sail trimmers etc, doing those jobs. It will be interesting to see if it makes a difference to our performance.
In the last 24hours the weather has changed drastically, we have gone from full wet weather gear (including dry suit) to shorts and t-shirt weather! But tonight is our last night watch luckily my watch is on the single, 10pm till 2am watch. The night before was a great watch with a clear starry night and then seeing dolphins darting through the water with the phosphorescent plankton which clings to them was incredible.
