Brutal weather forces Team Gallagher to sit tight. The team sent us this dispatch from the Tasman this afternoon:

"Conditions are very tough. The Tasman is unrowable at the moment. Tomorrow morning will be brutal with wind against waves for a few hours. The boat and team are fine and well set up for it with the sea anchor out. We hope to drift northeast as that is the shortest distance towards a more favourable current that will push us towards New Zealand."
