Morning all!
It's day 28 and I can hardly believe it’s been 4 weeks at sea already! I passed the Crozet ice gate in the early hours of this morning so I am on my way south again, it’s much warmer now, really quite pleasant. I had a good night, with the wind up and down between about 7 and 14 knots for most of it. I’m hoping the wind doesn’t get too much lighter and that we can start to pick up our speeds again, I’ll be gybing again soon to pick up a more easterly route towards the next ice gate.
After all of my hydro issues recently I’m really pleased to report that it worked for most of yesterday after finding a possible loose connection which we think may have been the cause of all the recent problems. This is really great news and a relief to me and the team back home as it was becoming very tiresome looking for solutions. This problem was separate to the breakage earlier in the race so keep your fingers crossed that I’m done with my hydro issues now!
Have good weekends everyone and keep following me on Twitter for the latest news @AlexThomson99 !
