Les Papillons - day 4 - problems at sea.

Just a few problems to report. Yesterday our VHF bew the fuse and now today it keeps blowing when we try to transmit, so no more VHf. Our SSB radio seems also to only receive and not transmit. 12.15 today, a big bang at the top of the mast and the main sail dropped to the deck at an amazing speed. Pretty annoying as we had had the halyard professionally spliced in Las Palmas! The skipper steve Bennett climbed the mast and made a new halyard, but with the force of the sail falling down it has damaged the track and at present we can only get the main sail 2/3rds of the way up. We hope to have a better solution within the next 24 hours.

Fingers crossed for the next 75% of the crossing.
