Spiriit of Mystery knocked flat in storm off Australia - Pete Goss and crew make for Melbourne

Spirit of Mystery's current position off Australia.

Blog followers keeping an eye on the Spirit of Mystery blog this week may have wondered at times why there were no updates since the boat was known to enter stormy waters. It turns out that the boat was hit by a large wave and knocked flat, crew member Mark suffered a broken leg at the time. The boat is said to be making good progress towards her destination and that Mark has had his leg put in a splint - all hands are said to be in good spirits despite the weather conditions which have now improved. We wish them well.
