Last night we raced in winds as low as 1 knot. This made racing difficult in currents that were running up to 4 knots at times. Positions between us and LMAX Exchange changed throughout the night, until the wind finally filled in closer to the shore and it managed to squeeze a 2 mile advantage.
We are now fetching Rathlin Island with a small zephyr and a tide due to change within an hour and making steady gains. This may be our opportunity to make it round Rathlin Island. We will be working hard to make it round and back again without drifting into the Traffic Separation Scheme in the light winds. All being well we will be drinking Guinness in Derry-Londonderry tonight.
