Repair and reflect

After a very windy night on the coral atoll of Suarji were have taken the morning to repair boats, record thoughts and reflections on the journey so far and even get in a little “beach” football. We are all well pleased with yesterday (reflecting on it on a warm public holiday morning!!). More than 65km of open ocean paddling with seas to 2 metres and very confused, high winds gusting to 30 knots. Chris and David “practiced” capsizing and re-righting their boat about an hour and a half into what turned out to be 8 hours on the open water. In a high wind and confused sea this uses a lot of energy however as testament to our fitness, and a bit of mental toughness honed on our bike leg, we finished the day strongly.
