More wind please! Chaotic Harmony is in 2500m deep water, hundreds of miles from land and the crew decide to swim into Australian waters. Any means of travel other than wind would be faster. We have just managed 120 miles a day in drifting conditions, spinnaker up, meandering downwind. There is something very disconcerting about jumping into the mid ocean and knowing the floor is a long long way away.
