Hi All its been a good start after the low winds on
Sunday afternoon. The good NE / E winds during the night have pushing
us west and at 11.20 AM we had just logged are 150 mile of the race at an
average speed of over 6.2 knots. The weather is excellent and from the picture
below you can see its shorts and tee shirts shame about the leather boots!! ![]()
We have focussed hard and some crew are already
exhausted!!
Thanks for the text messages receive from Jeff
and Noel well received
Location now is some 15 miles East of Lizard Point
drifting on a far tide the big challenge will be if we can make the
tidal at the point before it turn foul. Wind has dropped to 4 -6 knots with
boat speed of 4 knots under the code 2 kite. Hear is hoping for some more wind
soon!!!
