Leg 1 position update

At the end of the first leg we are lying 5th in Class 3 and 12th
overall in IRC (which excludes the multihulls or Class 40 boats).

We are very pleased with the result thus far. Only 5 hours separate
the top 20 boats so I reckon any one of them could still be in
contention for a podium finish. Our group of boats in Class 3 seems to
be particularly competitive with some very experienced crews such as
Pippa Hare and Chris Tibbs.

The RWYC website continues to frustrate, with its downtime preventing
people from following the tracker or results. Doesn't really affect us
when racing, but must be frustrating not only for main sponsor, but
also those organisations sponsoring individual boats.

Next leg starts for us at 02:30 in the morning, with a reasonably
quick journey to Barra in 10kt to 20kt northerly winds. We should be
in Barra on Saturday evening/night.
