After near-perfect conditions for the first week of this race, the past few days have been far less favourable. Nasdaq has lost ground to the other boats, unable to match their course and/or speed in the weather we have. We had lined ourselves up for a good fast kite reach across the Elliot Brown Ocean Sprint, when the wind first headed us then eased right off, leaving us wallowing through heavy rain for most of yesterday. Even Nasduck sought shelter under the hatch after the first few hours.
Things have picked up now though - more wind, from a better direction means we are now within 550nm of the finish and going well. We've had satcom problems, so no emails for a couple of days, but everyone on board is ok and still racing hard, and looking forward to the Legenderry welcome.
Cheers,
Rob
