[status]Conditions have not changed much - 25-30k ENE with some stronger gusts and 4m+ swell is making for a very boisterous passage. Autopilot is struggling so we have been hand steering - our crew, Anthony and Brian are heaven-sent, doing an AWESOME job. Yesterday Lionel took a tumble while putting a third reef in the mainsail and landed on the corner of something and has broken a rib, poor bugger! He is okay, but understandably on light duties.
