Race 1 - Day 26
Skipper Report
15 September

Good morning all,

Today has been another beautiful day in paradise, champagne sailing conditions with the wind easing off a touch.

Work has continued on cleaning the galley and finishing a stocktake of items. Our sails flying from the front have gotten bigger as we now have Yankee 1, Staysail and full Main. We await a slight back in the wind direction as we travel further south out of the trade wind belt into the South Atlantic High pressure system to allow us to fly a spinnaker again.

Conditions have been very wet with spray and waves over the deck, so I must say I look forward to having the wind behind us and the boat a bit flatter. We remain in 4th place with 3 boats not far behind us. We must keep our game up and can't afford any more tactical mistakes, hoping all is well at home.
