Stealth mode......
Unfortunately, by the time you read this we will
have been off the radar for a spell (enforced) due to a communication problem
arising from us running out of minutes for the satellite phone.
We are assured that this will be resolved Monday AM
and therefore you should be reading this shortly thereafter - hence we have no
idea how we are getting on versus the opposition and have been unable to report
our own position today.
That said, we have had a great day with some great
mileage, and champagne sailing, perfect conditions with boatspeeds occasionally
up to high 17 knots and pretty consistent 14's and 15's.
Rainbow watch (Matt H, George and Johnathan)
recorded what we think is bets mileage for a 4 hour spell so far with
a little over 40 miles - lets hope it was in the right direction!
Now hoping to arrive Tuesday midnight if the
breeze holds - we think we have arrived in the trade winds and finally
experienced the conditions in the brochure for this race!
Hope all is well.
Sorry the delay - hope nobody was too
worried.
Regards,
Duncan
