Race 3 - Day 21
Skipper Report
21 November

We have had a day of firsts for this leg - 24 hours of relatively smooth sailing, an entire night with the stars out, and no sail changes (much to the crew's relief).

The knowledge that we are heading right into a ridge of high pressure with little to no wind is definitely hanging in the air. Everyone looking at the wind instruments - checking if it's dropping or veering - anticipation is definitely the word of the day.

I wonder how the guys on GREAT Britain are getting on today - I imagine counting down the miles one by one until Fremantle. Keep pushing guys. Not far to go now.

Sailing with style - Nik
