From the Navigator's desk:
It is 3am, Jim & Scott are at the helm moving us along nicely at 7 knots under storm trysail and reefed genoa. Rest of the crew exhausted, sleeping anywhere including the floor. Boat seems to be performing well. Bilge is dry and the team came up with a excellent jury rig support for the steering box. Looking at the weather to route us back to MDR as fast as possible but also not stress the boat any more. Knew things were somewhat normal last night when we still had an excellent dinner made by Andy consisting of pork tenderloin, rice, and vegetables.
Keep you updated as I can.
