"Hi, Had a bad night.  Had problems unhooking the headsail, so was stuck for several hours with too small a sail, so poor speed and probably a poor course too. At dawn, I was able to solve the problem, but that meant I didn't get any rest and that affects decision-taking.  Pity, because the weather is good and normally the night should have gone smoothly. It's all part of the race.  Now I'm going to have to find the time to get some rest without affecting the boat's progress. So that's what's going on this morning.  I'm going to get something to eat and then I'll feel better."
