I want to start by saying that we have been writing crew diaries daily but there is trouble with the crew computer SO today I am sending from the skippers computer - while he's asleep!

It has been a lovely day heading east as fast as we can go - Cart just had an all-time high for him of 18.9 knots and we are hoping that the average speed will catch us up a few places. It is a very strange race as at one point we were in 3rd place, last night we thought we had overtaken Da Nang – Viet Nam and then this evening I find we are in 9th place and behind Da Nang – Viet Nam - all very odd.

The sun has been shining, the stars are prolific tonight and the wind is warm, the meals on the boat are still good and everyone seems happy.

Hoping you get this
