What a night ...

Minerva made it through Friday 13th keeping in the lead after gybing onto a more southerly course 250' and constant winds in the teens.

Daytime activities of eating, drinking, washing and sunbathing continued with new of organic mango face-mask for Victoria & Bridge. To mix it up we had early supper of pasta carbonara followed by rum infused "denghy" gateaux washed down with rum & coke sundowner.

A fab sunset followed by strong winds picked up throughout the night to 30 knots, with several personal bests beaten but topped by Monkey's 19.4k. Pre-dawn gybe in high seas to 295' with Isis 2m E and 30m N and 540m to go, it's all to play for ...

After breakfast filming started with Alex as Team Minerva video director and camera! Settled into another ... sunny, breezy, glorious day surfing down waves only days from cold beer.

Thanks for all the text messages, oh yes Brad's back on his bike!!
