The boat is a bit of a pain to take this way from Hawaii as it is an Alan Andrews designed ULD sled with a ver flat bow so I have been getting very little sleep as we have been going upwind for the last 5 days into very confused seas and the boat pounds really hard We have had to throttle back at night to about 5 knots at some points as I am afraid of delamination and rig problems. Very hard to do when really I would like to get home quicker so I can spend one night in my bed before going to LA.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0I have instilled rationing of chocolate on the boat as there has been a chocolate monster raiding the supplies. I catered for 2 bars per person per day and I have only had 5 this whole trip. We only have enough for 1 person per day now. Also rationing of hot chocolate. Always an annoyance to me as other people drink tea and coffee which we have a plentiful supply of but I only drink hot chocolate. People always end up deciding it would be nice to have something different and my supplies get depleted quickly.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Tonight for dinner we have carnitas burritos with beans and rice. Costco has these great little packets of carnitas por already cooked and you reheat – tastes really good – good enough for a mid week dinner party!<\/p>\n
The\u00c2\u00a0weather has been overcast and gray for the last few days so I forgot to put on sun tan cream today and my nose is now sore so time for aloe vera before my off watch. I am off from 9pm to 12 midnight and back on at midnight to 3am (horrible watch). Tomorrow however, is my shorter day of sailing and I think we will change our watches 3 hours forward tomorrow night as it is already pitch black here at 7:15pm.<\/p>\n
