noon run 126nm.
After a good start the wind died last night and we drifted along at 3.5 kts SOG for quite a while, then also motored slowly for about eight hours. The rest of 'the fleet' decided to motor south so are  some distance away, but only about 5/6 nm nearer to the Marquesas than we are. The wind has now picked up again and we are making 6kts SOG but on the thumbline track to our next waypoint at 3S108W. There's plenty of mileage in this 'race' yet and time will tell who guessed right !
All well on board.
