Here we go again. Set your clocks! Leg 5

[Pye_End]

part of the fun is correlating my irl course with Google Earth and seeing which bit of land I am having a BBQ on . Last time round the Horn I went through the middle of the Flaklands; this time I'm going near the mainland, and will be wearing a blue ensign

Don't bump into any submarines.

 

[Spyro]

Martin #1 and Booby #3. Go for it. Well done.

Don't ignore your alarm clocks tonight.

You should have stayed up a bit longer. No alarms needed last night but I will need a changed in predicted weather at the last hurdle before the finish.

Hoping we didn't peak too early... PetrM has a good chance to the East although the winds are picking up nicely again by the Falklands..

Enjoy.. ybw_mjm

Great show by you two, keep it up and we'll maybe have a YBW overall winner.

Go booby and mjm!!

Cheers
Al.

Experience tells me that if I'm in the lead I'm going the wrong way.

 

[Alistairr]

Not at all, you've got it sorted this time.

Keep going! DO NOT SLEEP!!!

Experience tells me that if I'm in the lead I'm going the wrong way.

I did that in a pursuit race. Luckily, everybody else followed me until the safety boat pointed out my error.

 

[pendlecats]

Congratulation's to mjm.
2nd overall nice job

 

[Martin_J]

No prizes for guessing how much sleep I managed to get last night.. I just didn't trust my DCs in the changing winds.. Well done all... ybw_mjm

Yes well done Martin. quite a lead you pulled out. I didn't think I could catch you after the horn so went in a different direction hoping for a shift in the winds forecast but after leading for a couple of days it went from bad to worse.

 

[sarabande]

neat navigating by the team's top two ! The last 36 hours have been very difficult to predict, but excellent work.


Just start stacking up the beers for when I arrive in a couple of days

 

[trevorr]

Well done Martin. Excellent Job. (and welcome to SYC)

Come on BT nearly there.

Brilliant result Martin. Great effort from Booby just getting pipped near the end. Two ybw sailors in the top 10! Fantastic.

 

[Fantasie 19]

Wow! Well done guys.. I'm paying the price for not going south at the start...

 

[pendlecats]

yey!

Well Dipper you kept me glued to my screen since Cape Horn, snappin' at my heals all the way up.

I can spend a little more time with our visiting live-aboard friend (currently in Portugal),,,, Until the next leg that is.

 

[Dipper]

Well done. In the top 100. I'm going to have to rely on my autopilot tonight.

 

[Dipper]

Alistair - have you lost a man overboard?

You seem to be heading back again!

 

[Fantasie 19]

Finished at last... blimey.... can't think for the life of me why I didn't think it would be a good idea to go south on this leg!

VERY WELL done Martin, a fantastic result, also Spyro great result having 2 YBW boats so close to the front.

Al.

 

[Alistairr]

You seem to be heading back again!

Thanks, Thats seems to be what happens when you go on holiday for a week, and your laptop decides to pack in and you can't get online!! Doh!!!

Cheers
