“A short update today as conditions continue to be incredibly tough on this Pacific crossing. The wind has been consistently strong, with regular gusts up to 40 knots in the last 12 hours. I am very tired, with very little opportunity to get any sleep when the conditions are so gusty as I need be able to ease and trim the sails quickly in reaction to the wind. The weather is due to stay like this all the way to the Pacific East gate, which is the final ice gate of the race, and the also the final marker before rounding the Horn which should happen within the next week.”
