Goodmorning world,
 
Our first blog since leaving Bermuda at 1230 local time yesterday. The start was a bit delayed due to some of the boats taking longer than anticipated to fill up with water but was an absolutely fantastic when we all got off. We were first over the line (6th by the time we got to the cut). Doing 6kts plus for quite a while but slowed overnight. We are now moving along nicely, if a little slowly (down to 5kts) and waiting for the wind to pick up (promised later today) and have taken our correct position towards the back of the fleet. Had a beautiful night time sail, the boat had a nice easy motion which was great for the first night out, a few brilliant shooting stars.
 
Captain and crew all well and settling nicely into a routine.
 
All for now maybe more later if anything to report.
 
Regards to all.
