Well, the decision to go south and west of the Scillies seems to have worked out very well for Richard and Jerry (White, just next to the wind text)- the wind strength kept up and backed to the west, bending their course nicely around so they're now heading straight for the rock, in fourth place in the double-handed class - well done guys! The wind should come around a little more, though probably not enough to get the kite up - but never mind, it should be perfect for the return leg! They've got about 60 miles to go before the turn, so should reach the Fastnet rock around 03:30 - so no nice photos, I'm afraid - or maybe a night shot? It is a lighthouse, after all! Then south west to Pantaneus and the long spinnaker run back to the Scillies. Good to hear from them - I knew Richard wouldn't have been able to resist a Scilly joke! :-)

Brilliant. Cheering you both on from the BVI.
ReplyDeleteGreat reporting Trev! Good to see them making sound decisions - I don't see any reference to peskies being on board - they must be too busy to look out for them!! Keep it up guys. Gill
ReplyDeleteNo sign of those pesky pixies. Not hiding in your kit bag, are they Trev?
