> > Saturday 2 July, 1100hrs Z. Position: 43deg 48N, 53deg 57 W - about 170 NM > due S of the SE tip of Newfoundland. > > NSTR - nothing significant to report! Pretty flat conditions, light winds > for the past 24hrs and making about 5kts to the NE (broadly on the great > circle route). We're about 50 NM from the Grand Banks. > > For a crew of tea drinkers (we started the race with 720 tea bags) we've > made the calculation that we don't have enough gas to brew as much tea as we > would like, as well as cook dinner. So a major rationing to just 2 brews a > day, from 2 brews per watch! Ouch. Other than that, all is well and > spirits remain high. > > We have no idea where the other yachts are, but suspect Carina is to the > east and probably opening up the lead as they're to the east of the > slow-moving occluded front and likely to have a bit more breeze. Any > indicators (range and bearing) much appreciated. And who is in the > Wimbledon final? > > > |
