Thanks again...ooh. your poor family, watching that Vid, must be so scared for you, but hopefully like us can have trust in your expertise, and the Boats capabilities. Why do those wet weather hoods ALWAYS fall forward GRr!!???? Wearing a thin cotton PEAKED cap(cyclists caps) underneath can sometimes help in keeping them off the eyes. Whatever Take care and be safe... the finish line daily draws near. Granny Kate uk

Amazing footage, Alex. I can understand how you would be a bit stressed. Sailing in known ice drift areas, let alone at that speed seems VERY scary to me. And you are doing incredibly well. Good sailing.
