Neck and neck .........and neck in SOL!

[Dipper]

0.3 miles separates the first 3 boats. Amazing after 5000 miles.

Of course, the leader board can be very misleading because location of boats relative to wind strength and direction plays a more significant role.

Now down to 0.2 miles. Can we get it down to zero? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[trevorr]

This is going to be a close finish I think.
All depends on th the white bits near Cape Town.

Good luck all.

Trev

 

[Dipper]

One of us must stand a reasonable chance of a good place. We have the leading pack covered from top to middle to bottom.
Booby-T and Slotmachine might join the fray.

It's good that this race is not a procession as it makes it more interesting.

 

[Dyflin]

Very exciting, the boats to the south look like they will loose out their massive advantage soon. A terrific way to end this stage. Under 1000nm left to go and all to play for.

 

[Spyro]

Yip, getting very exciting now watching the lead changing, I think I'm running out of sea room to catch you guys though.
27.5 behind Dyflin and 29.9 behind Dipper. Trev seems to have pulled away a bit at 31.7.
May have to try something drastic nearer CT.

Booby_Trapper out

Yep!

I (slotmachine) angled north a bit over night. Quite happy with that.

 

[Spyro]

It looks like it's going to get very interesting tomorrow night.
When you heading back up Trev?

Yeah, I was actually talking about the frontrunners /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[flaming]

Oh sorry, my watch must be fast...

 

[Dyflin]

What has your speed reduced to now?

 

[flaming]

25.

As you might gather from the name of my boat, I have a liking for the "bold move"!

Tell you tomorrow morning if it worked!

 

[trevorr]

Back up where?
Sailing instructions have altered.
Due to slow passage course changed. Straight to Austrailia.

Still doing 29knots ..... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Dipper]

We can't break out of the front of this weather system. The faster you go, the more the wind dies, the slower you go. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[trevorr]

Will you stop messing about and get on and pass me. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Dyflin]

And how many miles have you got left to the finish line...? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Dipper]

Sorry. I had to leave the helm to make a cup of tea. I'm past now. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Dyflin]

Uh, oh, I'm starting to climb the ranking again /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You southerners are running out of sea...
