Ripped Spinnaker

Position: 40d 21m N, 010d 28m W. Last night at sunset we passed the northwest corner of Spain and now are on a generally straight run (depending on the cooperation of the wind) to Brazil. The middle of the night found us with a ripped spinnaker and a few other breakages that, at the time, seemed intense and quite the handful in the dark but by the morning we'd repaired everything on deck and are sewing up the spinaker. It's truly a good crew i'm with.
