Not a Happy Bunny

It was lucky I had prepared food as we met up with a tropical low from New Caledonia and were suddenly hit with 30knt winds. The winch suddenly fell apart although luckily Chris managed to rescue the parts before they were swept overboard, then the spare fuel container broke loose but was also rescued. An uncomfortable day beating into rough seas and 6-7 S Westerlies. Sailing with part furled working gib and 3 reefs in main. Not a happy bunny. Waves coming over deck and into cockpit. The photo shows the view through the cabin window completely buried in water
