Hi All finally found some time for an update!! its
been pretty busy since we rounded the rock at 17.32 Yesterday as you can see the
weather was excellent we were making around 8.5 Knots reaching out for the wind
ward mark when the pic was taken and we managed to circle the whole crew
to get the same shot!!
The conditions have been great all night with NW /
W winds. After rounding the windward mark we raised the Code 2 Full Spinnaker
and have run down the rhunb line with a couple of gybes to maintain good speed.
Top speed of 12.1 Knots goes to RJ are testosterone fuelled young
YM!!!
We are currently 63 miles north of Bishops Rock
Light House and are racing along at an average speed over 7.5 Knots. Total log
so far is 493.5 Miles and all looks good right now for a finish some time Friday
if the wind holds up!!!
