I just hope and pray we will see her back in one piece.

the <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.maalla.co.uk/uk-weather/syn.htm>weather pattern </A> shows a slot of NE winds reaching down to the azores for the next few days. anyone planning to head out that way next year is likely to be pretty sick to see her times for that leg!

Now then Chris, you are not by any chance thinking
of building a boat like Ellen's are you?

Erm, if you are, could I be first on the crew list?

Re: She\'s on her way

Ellan crossed the start line at 8:10 Sunday morning.

"in winds of 28-30 knots from the NNW".

It must have been a screaming reach in that sort of boat.
