Sam Davies’ daily log - “Hello!
It's windy here today!
There are 40 knots of wind out here and big waves, and Roxy is flying along for the moment, just about under control! That said, it was difficult to keep the tea in my mug this morning. Luckily, I think that the depression is a bit less nasty than it was for those a bit further back. Hopefully, 40knots is the most I will see, and we can keep racing fast. I am on a mission to stay in front of Brian Thompson for as long as possible. We spoke on the phone yesterday and said that we must keep in touch as our routes will converge and we're not sure who'll be ahead. We don't want to literally "bump" into each other! As I am writing this, I have just seen 45 knots of wind and Roxy did a GPS speed of 28 knots. We were on the top of a huge wave and everything went quiet because nearly all of the hull was out of the water on the surf! I think I'd better get ready to take the 3rd reef... just in case.
