Rum Bucket - Last 48 hours on the NZ Rum Bucket
Rum Bucket update: the last 48 hours have been trying times for the crew and have limited options now going forward. Our 2:1 halyard has an issue at the top of the mast, so we used our masthead halyard to hoist our Code Zero to blast to St Lucia unfortunately in the middle of the night the halyard broke landing the Code Zero in the ocean but a very quick recovery of the sail by the crew had it back on board and stowed away. We have spent the day trying many ways to free the remaining masthead halyard trapped inside the mast but it won’t budge. We are now limited to our jib due to if we hoist a sail on our fractional halyard there is the unknown as to whether we will be able to drop it when the weather conditions change. The crew are very tired and just want to get to St Lucia ASAP. Spirits are still good and we are still racing. Yo ho ho and a Bucket of Rum
