Sleigh ride!!!!

Yippee!!!! Yihaa!!!! Have had the spinnaker up since 0100 this morning!

Got woken up with the message that the wind had turned and we were on for the spi back up, great way to wake, I must tell you.

Quickly the gear went up and with some great team work, we had the asymmetrical flying in no time and were doing 8.5 knots in only 11-13 knots of apparent breeze! Yippee, that’s what we want! We’re having our sleigh ride and boy, are we enjoying it!

Ever since been flying across the water, with the occasional slowing down when the wind would drop a bit, but mostly speeding along great! Doing 8 kn throught the water at the moment in 8 knots of (apparent) breeze! Smiles all around. Pretty damn good if you ask me!

Passed Bishops Rock and the Scilly Isles between 6 and 7 this morning and now on our way to Lizzard Point. Got the tide with us, so SOG (speed over ground) is a bit more even, and we’re making good speed towards the finish.

Crossing our fingers for the forecast to be correct as we’d get a little bit more wind even which would just be perfect!

Have also had loads of dolphins on and off during our crossing of Celtic Sea, to the great delight of our crew. We never tire of watching them, just hard to keep the concentration goin while they’re there!

Spirits are high and our spinnaker run has allowed us to take a few more scalps on our way to the finish. Sun might not be shining out there, but it is on the boat, Plymouth here we come!!
