We've had an excellent day so far with some of our fastest sailing of the race. The breeze is about 20kts and we are on a beam reach (fast and comfortable) There is much more shipping around now and we will be crossing main shipping channels for most of the night - not much chance for sleep until we cross the finishing line, which could be as early as 06.00 tomorrow if we can maintain our present speed of 8.2kts that we have been doing all afternoon !  
 
Much discussion about what's on the menu for supper and I'm sure I need not expand further....
 
We have only a few minutes left on the Satellite phone account which must now be saved for emergencies so this will be the last blog until we are within mobile range just south of the Lizard - EARLY TOMORROW MORNING - YEESSSS !!
