Bayou/Charal pulls a flyer

[zoidberg]

It looks like Bayou has tacked SE at just the right moment, to get into the new breeze as it strengthens while PRB and I-Coeur are being headed in feeble air.

Vendee-Arctique..... enable the wind info!

Could be a critical move on the long run towards the Gallimard Waypoint.

...And at 1630FR ( 15 mins ago ) Charal was leading from PRB and LinkedOut by 13 miles, so his tactical decision when to tack was 'spot on'.

There's under 2 nm between 1 and 2..... but 21 miles apart. That's Charal and PRB....
I reckon, by morning, they'll be in sight of each other - and still wi' just a couple of miles in it.

Apivia leads Charal by just over 4 miles, in fading breeze, in the rundown to the Gallimard Waypoint. It'll be a quiet night, trying to keep the boats moving.

PRB and I-Coeur ar 29 and 39 miles back, having lost significantly to Charal, Apivia and LinkedOut who went further SW to meet the new breeze. There may well be some 'bunching up' around the Waypoint in very light airs. Breeze is expected to come back from the WNW on Monday afternoon, perhaps favouring the second group.....
