Team Gallagher's crew leader Nigel Cherrie updates us with the latest dispatch:

"So day five and we are still on the sea anchor. The Tasman isn't going to let us cross easily! We all have cabin fever and disappointed to hear it could be like this for at least four more days.

The Moana is in the grip of the currents now with three to four metre waves crashing over the boat. We had a big southerly hit this morning at 4am. The wind is up to 40 knots and against the sea so a real battle. Just another day at the office!"
