So after my last blog the weather deteriorated, we ended up reefing down to our 3^rd Reef and raised our heavy weather Jib. This was possibly overkill but as it was getting dark we felt a comfortable night was the better of the options. We were still knocking out 6-7 knots, so we didn’t lose too much.  Waking up on Friday the front has passed through and we have 15 knots, white puffy clouds and a gentle swell. We downloaded the Yellow Brick Tracking data, and realised that we were in 6^th. With the routing options showing a beam reach in we worked out that we could in theory get back to 3^rd ( Optomistic) or 4^th A bit more realistic.

Decision made time to push! 153 Miles
