Hey Folks,
There is still a very sombre mood on board Liverpool 2018. I have begun to sit down with each of my crew individually and discuss any fears, apprehension and worries they may have, so that hopefully, they are all reassured that as a team we are doing all that we can for each other to ensure our safety. We can only begin to imagine the emotions on GREAT Britain and our hearts and thoughts are with all of them.
Big props to Bob and team Unicef for their amazing show of support diverting to sail with GREAT Britain for a short while. I am sure that went along way to emphasize the support the rest of the Clipper Race fleet is willing to offer at the drop of hat. Andy and crew, if there is anything that any of us on Liverpool 2018 can do please let us know.
With regards to sail chat, we have not had the most productive sail through the Elliot Brown Ocean Sprint (as our official timekeeper Elliot Brown make awesome watches by the way). The wind has dropped on us and we have not had the wind shift we expected overnight to keep us pointing due east. Now we must keep focussing on charging ahead to Fremantle where every member of the crew is looking forward to some R&R.
Ta,
Lance
