04OO Thismorning I was called on deck to make some tactical decisions and
throw in a gybe, I decided to break into my emergency “(IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS)” coffee.,.. BAD MOVE
Ive been feeling sick ever since with gastro, and even threw up a few
times…
The good news is that after nearly a day in bed sweating it off in the
tropical heat (inside temp of boat at moment 35 deg) I Think im nearly
over it.
The other good news is that earlier today we gybed back to the west as we
had lost wind where we were and came accross Singapore and Yorkshire and
we were still in the lead. Now we have gybed back and heading towards the
gate and the wind has once more picked up to what I would have expect in
this area.
back to bed to sleep off this sickness, good reminder not to introduce
strange things into diets whilst at sea no matter how tempting the
branding looks. BT
