After a harrowing last few days it seems that things out on the Tassie are slowly easing. Winds are dropping slowly and the swells are following. The Westerly drift has also ceased and a more favourable NE flow is currently occurring.
Shaun had a really good sleep last night however his back is still a bit sore. Although he was still cabin bound today he is now able to wander outside without being in grave danger. All is not completely dim as he has amassed an incredible 159 games of Solitaire on his iPod!
Today he also spent 3 hours emptying the step in front of his cabin door and a couple hatches of water which has probably left TT2 about 200kg lighter! In the next couple days as the weather continues to ease Shaun will spend his time getting the boat back in perfect rowing order as it certainly has taken a beating!
Tonight Shaun was a little down, which is completely understandable, however as I read him some messages of support his demeanor changed and was left feeling positive and very stoked! So…keep those messages coming. Jokes are great, as are memories of past times with Q-Dog!
