Sorry for the lack of news recently, as I am sure you understand
it’s been pretty full on. It seems that everything has being chucked at us in
the last 48 hours, and I've been too knackered to even think of writing. I’ve
had 3 hours sleep in the last 24 and as anyone who knows me will know, this is
not enough.
We're now in final planning of tactical moves for the end
game. You may have seen our tactics of using the weather systems to the south
to gain favourable wind directions later.
This meant sacrificing our position in the short term to gain the
advantage, and for a while it looked as if the mast head problems we had (see
Ben’s Skipper reports), might have slowed us so that we missed the weather
system. Anyway there is now growing optimism that we could be on the podium at the
end of the leg, but there are still many miles to go, and plenty of things can
get in the way.
I’m starting to look forward to Derry, there are loads of
activities on offer and it will be good to have some time to get myself back
together and enjoy the social scene.
