Morning All,
Well a nice 24 hrs of gentle downwind kite work, so all feeling well rested onboard if not at the fastest pace. We are currently slowly sailing past île Saint-Paul and its quite nice to see some terra firma after a couple of weeks at sea. Our wind should increase over the next 24 hrs to speed us on our way, and thank goodness it is again some more westerly so hopefully spinnakers up still. Talk has turned towards Freo and we are only around 1800 miles away so not long to go now, perhaps a week. It’s been extremely quiet and stable onboard giving everyone a well-deserved rest and allowing frayed tempers to return to normal. We have still managed to keep going at a reasonable pace despite the light airs and know that the southern half of the fleet will have stronger winds with higher speeds.
All well onboard.
