Towards the end of last night watch, as the moon finally showed its face for the first time, we managed to spot a slight tear in the Code 2 red spinnaker. Being able to catch it early, Jeff and Billy repaired it right on the foredeck and hoist her up again within minutes (well under an hour but still bloody impressive).

Porge was sent up the mast...again. Whilst up there he managed to take multiple photos and videos and more photos until we demanded he came down, but we had the halyard sticking a bit so Porge saved the day. All the while, Chris and Billy kept helm for 7 straight hours, whilst Jeff, Mick and me helped in the ongoing mend of the poor little code 4 (the big Z sail). Dave and Porge spent most of the day taking apart the water maker and putting it all back together and finally, at 3pm we had a bodged water maker sputtering a small but steady stream of water and many a wash was had to celebrate!

Finally, we made our first gybe since Catalina, this can mean only one thing - we're getting close to the finish line (that and the fact that we moved time zones again today).

Watch A is now settled into her 6 hours watch with most of us only having two hours sleep. Watch B is tucked up and tuckered out. Brilliant crew we have aboard Zephyr, no one stops till the job is done.

Finally, the last of the cabbage was eaten today, it is a sad day we say goodbye to the sole vegetable we have had along this journey, but I feel we will not be ordering cabbage on the side once we arrive in Hawaii. Now it's freeze-dried food and hot dogs - delish.

love to all Rooey xox
