Anyone for Tea!Introduction28.11.08 - Preparing for a change in temperature, 
© Sam Davies Hello all! Well, after a day of squalls yesterday, the sun is shining today and the wind seems a bit more consistent (albeit on the nose), which is a good news. More good news is that the more consistent wind enabled me to sleep LOADS last night, so I am on great form. AND – even more good news - now it is cooling down I can enjoy my breakfast cup of Earl Grey tea once more! It was just too hot for tea before. So my tea is in my hand as we speak! I have been looking at weather and hoping we will squeeze through the high pressure system, and then we will be off into the Southern Ocean. It will then be a month or so before the thermals come off and the bikini goes back on. I have been thinking about the change to cold weather and strong downwind sailing with ROXY, and mentally planning how to shift around the gear to optimise our performance, and comfort. I think that the change will come quickly, and I want to be ready for it. In the meantime, I am also preparing a few more little maintenance jobs to do when the wind drops as we pass through the high pressure, to make sure Roxy is 100% strong and ready for the Southern Ocean! Sam x At 1000 UK time, Sam Davies aboard Roxy was in 13th position, 242 miles from race leader Sebastien Josse aboard BT.
