Message From nicole
We are a day from Fremantle and I was expecting it to be nice and hot by now - isn't Oz supposed to be hot? But no. It's quite cold still and we are stuck in some savage weather- strong winds and big waves. Sails have been up and down all over the place and I am feeling pretty tired after my last action filled watch. We got hit by so many big waves that in the end it barely seemed worth ducking aound them any more! Helming is pretty crazy in this weather- fun, but also a bit scary when you reach the crest of a wave and there is a huge gaping hole in front of you! Sometimes you can sail down into it. Other times you hit the trough of the wave with a big crash! As you can imagine, I don't think that my course was the straightest! Hope everyone has a great christmas - not sure what I will be up to yet, but it will be my first one in the sun. love Nic

Hi Nicole, those waves sound a bit daunting to me. I have put your justgiving link at the foot of the emails that I am sending and it would be good if your friends did the same. Mary Norris is a friend of mine and she is also a sailor so she can empathise with you whilst on this very exciting adventure. Keep safe.
Love Norma. (a2i)

Hi Norma - sorry to not reply before, I have only just seen your comments. Its really great that you are following the race. The last race was a bit easier, with much smaller waves. I'll do my best to generate some more sponsorship for you - and do thank Mary for me.
Nicole xx
