Yesterday panned out to be a great tacking fest, fighting our way upwind to leave Virtual Mark Hutchings to port. The team really enjoyed the activity this rendered rather than just acting as rail meat (keeping your body weight on the high side rail) for four hour stretches.
Although the focus is clearly on racing there is definitely a distant look in the round the world crew eye's as they contemplate, (as I do) what comes next after a year circumnavigating the globe.
Liverpool is still six hundred miles and four days racing away so its trim, trim, trim until then.....
