Spent much of the day yesterday cutting up one of the plywood steps I use to move aft for this contraption. Hopefully this will resolve the issue for the next 20,000 miles and I won’t have to worry about it. Feels a bit over-engineered, but I dig it. Kudos to Eric Lambert, Master Shipwright Extraordinaire, for the idea!

It looks like you might just beat the Vendee Globe leaders to the Horn – they are under Cape Leeuwin now.
