Ted and I were talking about the 24 hours spent with the boat hanging from the parachute sea anchor.
We decided it was like 24 hours sitting on a roller coaster at a fun park but sheltered in side the deck pod, and each time you put your head out to look around you were pelted with 30 to 40 knots of wind, spray and rain plus the boat was buffeted by each breaking crest or steep sided wave as it rolled onwards .
moving round the deck it was life harness as usual and stooped to hang onto hand holds as you went.
Is sailing fun out here - yes most definitely
