Sit Rep 2014-05-16
Not far to go now, its been a fast trip! We took a bit of a beating in the stream yesterday. A couple of waves that hit the hull made me do a check over the side to make sure we had not split the hull open. Definitely the worst sound bellow that I ever heard but she looks the same as ever and no water coming in. Bush was on deck however and almost got washed overboard, obviously he was clipped on so no dramas. We are still hurtling downwind and are on our final approach for Newport. Very much looking forward to being stationary again.
