Now enjoying the dawn breaking as we pass Bishops Rock to the South of the Scilly Isles. The wind has eased and the sea state is far more comfortable. In other words the first 15 hours were a fairly hard intro to the race.
Still reefed, though as both Trevor & I are quite tired. We promised ourselves a gentle few days to break ourselves in. Delighted to find that we have come out of the starting blocks at full pace and surprised to find ourselves at the top of the leader board - exciting though it is, puts extra pressure on us to keep up the pace.
I'd like to thank all the team at the RWYC for their hard work and commitment to running this race.
Richard.

What a wonderful way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you had such a good start, and are giving the bigger boats a run for their money. Keeping a weather eye on your progress is certainly releaving the boredom of being housebound.
Keep it up.
