Race 3 - Rio to Cape Town - the first storm 11/05/2011
Since my last blog we have had incredible winds - I have helmed in 38 knots of breeze over monster waves - so I am super happy! Last night on watch we went from a storm jib and reefed main through all the heads sails and to full main so I am pretty tired - but in a very good way! The seascape is just incredible! We even saw a rainbow made from moonlight the other night - it was in greys rather than colour Today we have an unexpected break in light winds and we are waiting in hope that our southern strategy pays off with big westerly winds to blow us up to Cape Town. My finger isn't painful any more although I dont think it will heal until Port now . Hopefully the salt water keeps it clean though.
