.................just charging some British Soldiers.

Things are all good aboard the good ship Lancelot 2, approaching The Lizard

after a strong 24 hours. We've just passed Soldier who sailed past us last

night but on a lower course. We didn't pass too close to windward, as we

are of course gentlemen. This battle may be won but I'm sure the war isn't

over.

Yesterday was pretty full on. An island shore start had us alternating

between calling for water so-as not to run aground and calling for right of

way to get back in for the good tide. Allie's home made thai curry provided

a excellent first meal offshore, accompanied by a most stunning sunset. It's

what sailing is all about. After a couple of IRC1 boats came to say hello

in the night, accompanied by a small pod of baby dolphins, dawn broke to

find us right in the hunt.

With the breeze dropping off it's been all about positioning and a

relentless focus on keeping the boat moving quick, with trimmers and helms

keeping sharp as we've been talking about throughout training.

Much love to all at home.

The crew of Lancelot Logic (2)
