The wind improved for the second half of our sprint but unfortunately with a few hours left it became squally and changeable dropping our average speed right down. Our average speed ended up being 10.5 knots which I suspect isn't quick enough to win the sprint which I expect had an average speed of 11 or more knots.
With the night came horrible squally weather which led to an absolute soaking. For now, though, the stars are out and the radar shows no squall clouds on the horizon so time for a cup of tea and a sleep.
