Hello.
We are still sailing ahead of those light winds with the spinnaker flying, the weather is a mixture of rain, drizzle but dry at times. The wind is getting lighter and we are doing our best to chase the leaders.
Unfortunately, we lost some ground due to another kitemare, after lots of
collapses in the night, I felt the boat going very slow, jumped out of my bunk
and knew it was an issue.
The spinnaker was wrapped around the forestay! The team got it down, unwrapped it and we sent it back up, it all took nearly an hour, a precious time at the end of the race... The anti-wrap net was immediately hoisted after that!
We can see Visit Seattle escaping
slowly on our positions report. The more ahead you are, the more wind you have
and less chances to finish in a windhole very close to finish! Nail biting!
We will have to wait to see the result of the Elliot Brown Ocean Sprint, looks like a close one between a few boats and we will see what the team from Liverpool2018 will do there before having the results.
Nearly there,
