Jeanne Socrates' "Nereida" Damaged in Record Attempt

[JPA Cate]

If you Google on " sv Nereida + blog" you can read for yourselves about Jeanne, and the strife she's in off NZ.

Boat broached, water ingress, loss of solar panels and wind generator. Must be darned scary! She, herself, seems to be well and in fighting spirits.

We met her some years back in Hobart, and she's a tough and determined lady. One hopes she can continue on, but without electricity, and with the wind vane hors de combat, she may not be able to.

Wishing her well.
