Teared jib

2007-12-21 00:36 by jens

Today a seam in the jib split. Our first thought was to repair it but after some experimentation we got the boat balanced and self steering using the storm jib instead. We will wait until we reach Port of Spain with repairing the Jib, hopefully there will be a sail maker there.

The wind has calmed down to around 12 knots and today was the first time we sat outside of the cabin without getting sprayed with water.

Only 718 nm left to go!

Hej grabbar, Skönt att ni är på upploppet och har det bra, trots problem med focken. Vi önskar er en God Jul (till havs?). En God Jul & Gott Nytt År önskas också alla trevliga bloggare och inte minst era tålmodiga flickvänner, Karin och Annika. Kramar till er båda!! Marianne & Håkan.

(Flygfisk är säkert lika gott som lutfisk!)
