Day 7

1100nm to go

Well it's been a week and feels like a month.
I'm not real good today I have only had 3 hours sleep in the last 24 hours.

It's been really rolly and hard to get to sleep I think I'm actually way over tired now and I just know it's going to catch up with me real soon.

My arm seems to be hurting more today than yesterday, I tried to rig up the fishing line and just couldn't do it.
But I did manage with a few tears to cook some dinner and pikelets for snacks through the night.

That's one thing I try to have on hand for us, as when your trying to stay awake you need something to do so we snack...haha
Actually when we do crossing your eating plans are all out of whack so it helps to have snacks.

We also got hit all night with massive storms with rain that was just crazy, we are also having a problem with the auto pilot it keeps switching itself off.

The only thing we can think of is the must be really strong currents around and it just can't cope.
But I tell you it's shocking if your downstairs when the alarm goes off you get thrown around and  we instantly go about 40° off coarse, it's so much fun, not.

It's finally time for me to try and sleep I don't think I'll have a problem this time as I'm really really tired.

Well tomorrow is another day.
