Finished at last - where's the beer tent?!

Finished at last - where\'s the beer tent?!

Phew .... gained back a few lost places this morning ... went from just over 200 to 179 - thankfully!

Lessons to be learnt from this leg ....

1) I did better when not in control of the boat (started the leg playing on laptop via mobile phone in Scotland! for a week!!)
2) Don't try any smart arse moves when you're 2 days from the finish line

Now - SWMBO has 170Nm to go - so some beer time for me then!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I've not found the beer tent, but I have a good stock of malts.... (and owe dipper some champagne as well) Party on Wild Bird later?

looking forward to the next leg, when hopefully
a. I will understand what I'm doing
b. I will have fathomed out the VMG reading (doesn't make sense to me)
c. I won't fall asleep at the wheel,
d...or go out to lunch on critical days, forgetting that Wild Bird was set to sail on wind angle- oops

I would've done better if ........

2 days ago I stayed close to your course .... as we were only about 13Nm apart .... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Finished at some point last night.

308th. Some room for improvement there!

Flaming, there were times that I thought you had abandoned your ship when you hit the hole.

The last couple of days have been rather difficult for us out West but nothing like you had to deal with.

Onwards and Upwards. Roll on 13 Dec

Not so much, no...

Was up to 12th just before the doldrums, then they just grew and grew in front of me.
Can't really complain, would have been the world's biggest fluke if it had worked!

I was away all this week, so was actually spared the sight of my boat sat there not moving!
