The blog title says it all! Today the winds hit their peak and churned up some massive swells that tossed Tasman Trespasser 2 around quite fiercely. At around 4am this morning one of the shackles on Shaun’s sea anchor came undone leaving him to do a precarious repair job. He couldn’t believe it as he had done it up so tightly before setting off!
Talking to Shaun tonight he relayed his frustration about the weather and not being able to be fully in control of a situation. It has been an extremely tricky week with the horrific conditions but once again the cabin time has given him some time to think about the rest of the trip and to set some goals regarding arrival dates.
It was pleasing to hear that he is still witty as ever as he commented that he is embarrassed about his beard growth. Whilst the upper lip and chin region are progressing nicely, his chops and cheeks look more like the sporadic sprouting on a pre-pubescent boys face!
