Have had a great 24 hrs - sails up all the time and no incidents to report
(Tom & I have decided that DIY at sea isn't a good idea). Sailing during the
night was amazing - you feel isolated but what a thrill with only the moon
for company and the boat speeding away.

Winds have lapsed a little however the main fleet are suffering more with
little or no wind. But we have plan - yes it involves a little DIY but if it
goes to plan overtaking could be possible.... watch this space!

Finally, to everyone at NU / Friends & Family thanks for the monies raised
so far. I'll provide an update to how much soon.
