We got round the Lizard and Lands End yesterday at
about 5pm.
Last night was a bit of a battle through a storm
with 30 knot max winds and 2-3 m waves and rain to boot, but we over came
this and today's conditions have become much lighter. The first part of the
crossing was a 'fetch', ie close to the wind but not tightly close hauled, but
the wind swung round from SW to NW and for the last 40 odd miles we have been
beating up to to the Fastnet.
We have just passed the Fastnet (21:06) and now
bearing onto 203 deg for the next leg to Pantaenious.
Well done team !!!!
