Race 13 - Day 2
Skipper Report
24 July

Ahoy shipmates,

We find ourselves just west of Belmullet on this fresh Tuesday morning. April Rellis once worked as a surfing and windsurfing instructor nearby and crew have been pointing out the peaks on the hills of the Sligo and Mayo coastlines. Just ahead we have Achill Island and I've been reminiscing about a few camping trips that I've had there, especially after the clear and starry night we had last night.

We are making good progress south now in 15 knots of true wind and a kind sea-state, however we find ourselves at the tail end of the fleet after struggling to keep speed in the light winds yesterday. The spread of the fleet in still very tight as we had only eleven miles to fleet leader PSP Logistics at the last Sched.

We are trying our best and mood onboard is good. Much thanks due to the delicious food prepared by our shore team, including some tasty Guinness bread by Primrose cafe and soups and stews courtesy of Roseann's dad.
