Can I hold off Trev, that's the big question?

 

[Dipper]

Oh. I thought it was going to be me. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[trevorr]

I think you will Booby, Wind angle is better for you. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

Look out behind you dipper, 0.3nm off your stern and closing fast /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Dipper]

Okey dokey. All sails set and wind picking up. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

0.1nm

 

[Dipper]

0.00000 /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Phew - glad I passed you unnoticed!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I thought earlier today the line to the finish was going to be a simple choice but the finish looks a bit of a challenge now. It changed big time on the last update. Coming in from the south looked like it would be upwind Now looking like attacking from the south might be better but it could change so much before we get there.
I'll be watching the updates closely.

Only 40 mins late... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Dipper]

I might regret this later!

 

[Dipper]

And you have a bit more wind than the rest of the pack to your west!

 

[Carolwildbird]

And the betting for when HYC-TREV passes Booby Trapper? the lead is rapidly eroding...

are you on rocket fuel?

 

[Spyro]

I know, I know /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif but the rate is slowing down I think. he gained 1.4 miles in the last hour and has much better wind for the next few hours and mine should start picking up when his slows down. its going to be very close in about 3-4 hours form now. I think I could loose it overnight but hope from my position to get it back tomorrow. That's the plan
The finish is going to be exciting.

 

[trevorr]

Its going to be close by my calculations.
Forecasts will play a major part in deciding the outcome I think.

Best of Luck.

 

[Dipper]

I think there is a slight advantage being east of the line as the current wind curves boats to port, away from the finish. Booby looks well placed.

 

[Spyro]

Thats not an accident I'm there It was tempting yesterday when I lost 25 miles to Trev to head for the line at better speed and try to cover him but I stuck it out. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Dipper]

Good move. You are looking like top ybw boat! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The more I look at it the more I think I'll get a top 100 place. Some boats are starting to gybe across from the west so I should be able to pick quite a few off. I'm looking better position wise than leg 1 which is my main aim.
