No Shortage of Activities in the Vendée Globe - Steve White
There is no shortage of things to write about today after last night’s frenzied activities. I was snoozing in my bed when the boat began to broach - I was straight up, boots on and onto my feet, by way of pushing buttons on the autopilot to turn the boat away from the wind.
