It's too stressful. I get a crick in my neck looking back. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I'm also worried about you. I think you have a cunning plan and the doldrums might help you out. If you eventually win, I am going to lodge a protest on the grounds that you are no longer carrying a bucket.
Hmm. Scrolling the pre-release version weather seems to show a useful finger of wind on the eastern route. I need to go a fair bit West to keep the wind. I don't think this showed up a few days ago. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Going off watch now. The crew of Booby_Trapper has raised her biggest spinny and moved into 2nd place. Looks like a very interesting day tomorrow.
Trev... Where did it all go wrong?
It's all about location, location, location from now on. Boats that appear well down the leader board may be in a better position to transit the doldrums at speed. Furball looks well placed to the East.
Even if I don't stay there it's nice to have made it to the top. the guys out west are definetly looking good and there is a big hole appearing in front of me. Like I said it's going to be an interesting day
Changed your mind? I thought there may have been an opportunity that way.
My money is on Blur out to the West on his own and belting along at over twice our speed. I think that whoever gets through first is very well placed to win overall.
