Leg 8 : race 12 : day 11
Carl woke me at 7 am. Couldn't believe how long I had slept for. He had been on deck since 5.30am as the hallard on the spinnaker had snapped so tigers watch helped the dragons get it down. Sadly it got ripped so more sail repair !
Helped sophie to machine the code 1 and we finally had it fixed by noon and bagged it up ready to be flown again. I now know how sophie must feel every time a spinnaker gets torn, all the hard work repairing it sometimes days! It goes up again and you keep your fingers crossed that it comes down safely with no rips. Started patching the code 2 stayed down below all day was really tiring and hard work mending the sail with the boat heeled over. Went to bed at 6pm had done a 11 hour day working on the sails was so tired. Carl went on deck at 6pm for his shift but I didn't have too as was working on the sails. The temperature has dropped so sleeping in sleeping bag.
