Hi all,
I managed to move the drift at end of the day yesterday… I decided not to return in the water, it was too tiring and it became dangerous as my state of tiredness increased. But in a final desperate attempt, I removed the tip and the drift moved it slowly. I managed to it back into its "normal" position.
It is very damaged but I left about 80cm of healthy drift under the boat in order to use it. I then plugged the waterways with my dirty laundry to limit the speed of the "tide".
There are 18 knots of wind and I sail between 6 and 8 knots. The electric pump allows to me to rest. Tomorrow, I will attack the resin workshop and I hope I’ll be able to eliminate the waterways. In the meantime, I am glad to have completed this first task.
And mentally, I'm on the road back to Les Sables… I finally get some rest.
Have a Good day,
Tanguy
