Los Jangadieros (white, to the right of the wind text) are currently lying 10th in the two-handed IRC class. They are approaching the Scillies and must decide whether to tack north, like everybody else, or carry on and pass south of the islands before tacking. A tricky call, which could lead to big gains or losses, depending on what the wind does. It is predicted to back (anticlockwise) which would favour standing on and going south - but it will take some nerve! It might be prudent to cover the others and go with them. Can't wait to check again in a couple of hours!!! Sitting on the sofa with an tide tables, chartlets showing currents and weather maps is not as much fun as being out there - but is still pretty exciting!!
