"It was pretty lively, a very bumpy old night really, quite unpleasant at times but it is better now though there is still a very awkward sea. I was down to third reef and staysail for a while. Now I’m on the A7 and one reef and it is looking a bit better for my night, it does look a bit more stable and I should, no I hope to be in for a reasonable night.
Bit by bit I am getting into Christmas and the things I am finding. There are lots of nice nibbles around, I’m tucking into some nice jelly beans just now, and there are a few bits and bobs around which I’m going to enjoy. I spoke to Soren [Golding's 9 year old son] yesterday evening and will call home again in a while."
