Leg 8 race 13 day 4
Didn't sleep very well went through a storm and we're heading into the wind so hitting waves hard. They tacked a few times in the night so had to keep adjusting my lea cloth and bunk. Up at 6.30am the boat was heeled over a lot so hard to get dressed. They were just taking a reef out before I got on deck but still had another one in. We could see Lmax alongside for the whole shift and a few others on the horizon. Felt so tired so was glad when shift was over. It's getting colder and rained on and off all day. Had a doze in my standby shift Was glad to sleep in my 4 hours off.
Back on deck for 7pm. Hardly any wind half way into shift put code 1 up still not a lot of wind can't believe we are in the North Sea. Then just before we came off watch the wind picked up and we gybed. Unfortunately it took a while to get ready about 20 mins and as the wind had picked up we went 2 miles in the wrong direction! Came off at 11.10pm straight into bed
Miles 121 speed 3.2-9.3 wins 7.2-28
