Morning!
We've had a set back over the last few hours, with the breeze easing and veering ahead of a front that is due to pass over us later today. This is costing us hard won miles against the fleet as well as meaning our Elliot Brown Ocean Sprint is turning into a bit of an ocean meander. Such is ocean racing though and when the wind does fill in, it should do so with a vengeance meaning more high boat speeds. We are only hoping that as we are closer to the centre of the low to the south, we will have more wind than those to the north meaning we should get back some of those miles.
I am feeling a little frustrated today, as I'm sure you can tell it's not really working out the way that we hoped so far. The crew have all been working super hard since we left so hats off to them for all their efforts. That's ocean racing for you, after a set-back you need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and....KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!
