Portimao to Punta Del Este, Day 21, Race 2, 06/10/2019

Update from mam

There are all sorts of better tactical minds thinking up devious plans to keep staying 1 step ahead of Qingdao. 
We now have our code 3 up, which can deal with heavier winds, Afshin and I have just spent another 4 hours stitching and patching the code 2. 
Less than 1000 miles to go now, then I can say I’ve sailed across the Atlantic Ocean. 
We have now taken down the code 3 as the wind hit 34 knots and it became tricky. 
Just helmed in massive seas - 20-30 foot waves. It was very physical.
