Escapado - 26th November



Were all still in hysterics, after Eddies attempt at sleeping in the pipe cot at 2am. 14 hours later and we’re gathered in the galley still chuckling along at the image of 6”4’ Eddie head first with his legs sticking out towards the nav table, completely stuck, half asleep while Tom is yanking his ankles to try and free him, ‘like birthing a lamb’ says Sophie. meanwhile crew ‘watch out’ are spectating in uncontrollable fits of laughter while Eddie is wedged half in and half out the cot. Still paralysed with laughter we couldn’t even move to take a photo or video of the scene. Despite the crews frustration of the spinnaker pole jaws breaking we’re all very much in good spirit, especially after Eddie and Tom's comedy sketch. We crept into 3rd place this morning however we’re still chasing Rainmaker, we need to be making a consistent 9-10 knots to catch them which might be tricky without the spinnaker however we’re all determined to catch them with the jib for now. Hopefully Jake can fix the spinnaker pole (again) or rig a different system up. It’s a running joke at the struggle of me, Charlie and Tom getting up however I don’t think me and Tom have ever got up on deck so quickly after Jake screamed WHALE, unfortunately we didn’t catch it but Eddie and Jake both spotted the trademark fin rising out the sea. I think Jake now knows how to get us up next time...
