Tuesday was the low day on the trip , as far as the mental challenge of doing this race. With 760 miles to go I was really starting to think, why? I have now sailed further in a single hit than I have before, what else is there. Other than possibly another 5 days and nights ahead. We have been knocking out some good miles but are struggling with the A2, the autopilot just can’t cope when the TWS hits 18 knots, we go for a little spin. So our next option is the Code 0 Which is a fantastic sail, furls reliably even when windy, but we have to sail in the <150 wind angle area so we are giving up miles every time it goes up, which is quite a lot at the moment.
