If you thought that the yachty life was glamourous then think again.... The true glamour of ocean racing hit me yesterday as i had my head down a bilge trying to empty it of diesel, & then got down on my hands & knees to scrub diesel off the floorboards (it is v slippy). The weather has got gnarly again now. Last night we had 35 knots of wind & 4m swell- it was pretty crazy helming down those waves, especially in the pitch dark when you can't see them!
