"It's better now, but last night when the front passed with 45-knot winds, the seas got rougher and there was not much to do. It has been hairy at times, but now with 3 reefs in the main and the reacher up, I'm able to get some rest. The pace remains a bit frantic, and I've done 32.2 knots under autopilot, that's the boat's record! Sorry to hear about Mike's dismasting. but when the race gets that full on, the gear suffers a lot and failures like that are bound to happen."
