340 Miles left to Azores
and again going down wind on a broad reach just fine! doing some proper wave surfing and gaining top speeds current top speed list is:
1. Roy : 13.6 knots
2. James; 13.5
3. Flavio:12.8
4. Sonja: 12.7
5. Iain: 12.6
6. Darren: 6.9
the competition is still on and of course will continue after the Azores towards Cowes. this lady can go faster as shown during Antigua race week (15 knots surfing with spinnaker, bravo Andy!)
next to the normal stuff like dolphins we see more and more birds and turtles now. Tomorrow we are looking forward to shout: LAND AHOY!!! HAR HAR HAR Lower the sloops, grap your swords.
cheers,
Roy
