[status] Day 38...Our 24 hour run from midday to midday was 90nm. We had a very, very slow night. So slow that I saw 0 on the GPS speed. In fact, we took all sails in at one stage, as they were hanging limp and just getting damaged. We've never done that before. Frustrating!! I don't know what it is but this crossing is different from all others. Aside from the obvious length of the crossing, it feels different and I am not sure what it is. Maybe it's eroding my patience, testing my "zenness", challenging my cooking skills, dunno! Understandably the damaged rig is weighing on my mind, maybe that's it, or the combination of all the above. Maybe, it's the fact that the end still seems so far away. Whatever, the fact is that, today, I lost my zen, let my tears flow and screamed my lungs out in frustration! Tomorrow will be better!
