Hello,
Sorry followers for the missed of news, we had some sat comm issues, a migration in the satellites system! (Day 10 blog has now been received and updated - editor)
We had some good sailing over here, flying above 12kts constantly with some surfs around 18kts. The rain and the mist were on nearly 24hours a day, really feeling going home!
Not much traffic at all and no other Clipper Race boats on AIS. Adding the lack of sat comms, we didn't know where everyone was but now we can see that we gained some miles on most of the fleet and we are waiting to see where Qingdao and Unicef are when they come out of Stealth Mode.
Now we are still flying and long may it last but we can see that the last couple of hundred miles will be tricky, so charging the batteries to be ready to crack on!
Morale is good, camaraderie is great, fingers crossed for us for the finish and hopefully a podium on the Elliot Brown Ocean Sprint!
Derry-Londonderry we are coming!
GT out
