Hi Chrissy, all is well this end.You have kept up i'm sure with the latest info from Clipper. We have experienced snow falling on the yacht - wow it's been cold.
Saw small penguins, even they looked cold. It's about 3 degrees with wind chill factor freezing on deck so we are spending 30 minutes on deck then rotating 3 at a time. Got most of my gear on when on deck and sleeping in my thermals & two pairs of socks in my sleeping bag.
We busted another spinnaker pole & the heavywieght spinnnaker two days ago, it had to be cut away with knives & a saw!!!!
We have gone down to 46o latitude, way below Tasmania. We are aiming for a speed gate at the moment and once past should start to head north.
Keep up the good work at home.
Love to all BAMO
Tomorrow l do the ships blog so look out for it!
