Leg 5 ; race 8 : day 3
Woke at 5.30 on shift at 6am had porridge on shift still feel really achey and tired. According to the schedules we are at the back of the fleet ! So hard working the tactics to stay in front !
Went off shift at 10 straight into bunk. Trouble is my bunk is above the fuel tank and it leaks so stinks of desile
My flip flops and trainers were on top and were soaked in it ! Woke at 2.30 don't feel so achy but have a massive head ache. Felt sorry for Sarah she is a round the word crew aged 70! She had a fall so resting in her bunk
The boat is slamming around in the waves sometimes sounds like we have hit something the thuds are so big, the smell of desil is over powering making me feel sick ! Laying in my bunk thinking wish I was at home in my comfy bed!!!
Went on shift 6-10pm felt so tired after shift on my stand by I was sick so just lay on top of sail in galley didn't have energy to move. Mind you not eating a lot, finding it hard went to bed at 2am slept solid
