Day 17 : onboard Roxy in the Vendée Globe - DIY day

Hello everybody!

Yesterday finished with a “boy shower” up on the bow of ROXY! This time there was plenty of water to rinse my hair. When there is a free, continuous warm(ish) shower going on 24/7, you might as well make the most of it. As I said, every cloud has a silver lining and now it smells of roses onboard Roxy!

I am still pushing hard to try to stay in front of Foncia for as long as possible… It’s pretty difficult though. Now the wind is starting to drop, I will see the others behind catching up a bit. Hopefully, at the same time I will gain on the leaders.

This morning I have been making the most of the quieter conditions to do some DIY. A few little bits and bobs to fix, and yet another big check around Roxy.

Now I am absolutely STARVING hungry for once, so I am going to have a pause from my jobs and eat a big lunch. On the menu today: Sodebo bread, cheese, marmite, pistachios, some sardines perhaps, and an orange to finish off with!
