Morning! Well, this upwind stuff is getting tiresome! Thankfully the wind is due to shift around to the south over the next few hours giving us a last push before we arrive in.
It's getting very humid and hot downstairs now as the temperature rises outside. We can't open hatches just yet as there is still lots of water coming over the deck, making down below a very sticky place to be!
We should be well in the marina by this time tomorrow so I want to say a big well done to my crew for all their hard work. It's been a challenging race from Fremantle and the guys have given everything and more. It's a real privilege to lead this group of people. Now it's time to get our boat sorted for the next battle, the Sydney Hobart race!
Speak to you then and have a great Christmas.
