Well today is a big day for LBB and the crew. We just hit our 1000 Nautical Mile mark (2000km for those of you who work in metric) and its taken us exactly 5 days to do it.

Also on another note, having screamed along under spinnaker through the night (topping 18knts at one point) we have managed to claw back out time deficit in the last 24 hours knocking 8 hours of our ETA. Basically we've been flying. Very little sleep for anyone, plenty of rope burn so we look like hardened sailors when we see you all next, but its been a great 24 hours. We managed 225Nm since the same time yesterday!

So today, we are pitting in for 1 hour in Cascais nr Lisbon to refuel and then we are going to throw ourselves back out onto our track while the wind is holding strong.

On another note we also just past our half way point..... this means minds are starting to wander to home comforts and own beds and our girls at home.... but in the mean time. . . . . Sailing on and spirits extremely high!
