Log
- My Mum’s birthday today.
- AWFUL! Collided with foreign squid boat, about 4000 tons. Broke forestay (starboard), but port forestay appears to be okay. Smashed pulpit. Yacht seems okay. No holes that I can detect. Lucky the rigging is so strong. Most upsetting. Wind 20-25 knots NNW – a wind change.’
- Yacht appears to be okay. Balance of broken forestay swinging around from top of mast, will recover in smoother waters. Centre back stay is now loose, must have helped take the shock. Lucky the bow is reinforced etc. Pulpit a tangled mess’.
