An extremely frustrating day of bobbing around going nowhere. Our weather guru warns us that we will be stuck here for another 12 hours and then the winds after that don't look too promising.

The crew are a wee bit frustrated as we have already accepted eleventh place following the diversion, we were only racing ourselves. It’s just a bit disheartening after doing the extra miles to go to Newfoundland that we couldn’t keep ahead of the high pressure causing this wind hole.

We tried our best to sail as fast as we could to sneak in front of it, but no luck the blue dots of doom have won!! Now we just want to arrive and join our friends on the fleet to enjoy all that Derry-Londonderry has to offer us.

But, all that being said, we did have one of the most dramatic sunsets tonight that reminded those on Port Watch why we are out here... for unique experiences. As the suns globe dropped below the horizon it left an electric orange light lining the clouds. Spectacular.

Ta,

Lance
