We may even shake a reef out this afternoon. Last night was very uncomfortable with frequent 40kt squalls, another tumble from the chart table in a sudden lurch (me \u2013 but I\u2019m pretty close to the ground anyway and I hit the back of my head so no damage done \u2013 worse is my probably broken little toe) and an accidental gybe, fortunately, no one hurt and no damage done.<\/p>\n<p>The sea state is moderating but the residual lump is still quite inconvenient. Everyone has been pleased (the mad, crazy fools) to experience some real weather and is equally pleased that it was relatively short-lived. Amazingly the tiny leopard print pants that Ryan hoisted up the burgee halyard before we left Horta are still attached. The deal is that if they are still there when we arrive, Ryan will wear them to The Chain Locker.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4102\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4102\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasssailing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG-20190128-WA0051-e1548873039751.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Leopard Skin Pants flying from the rig- not sure I want to see the photos<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can read more blogs from <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/antigua-portsmouth\/\">this voyage<\/a> or other Atlantic Sailing Adventures <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/atlantic-adventures\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Book Your Own Atlantic Adventure<\/h2>\n<p>If this blog has inspired you to have a voyage across one of the world\u2019s oceans then start speaking to the team in the office.
