The last 24 hours were very tiring and seemed extremely long. Variable winds and a number of squalls imposed a number of evolutions: reefing, un-reefing and headsail changes.

We passed very close to the centre of the depression, a nice circle of blue sky. We are now in the back of this depression with a steadier wind.

We still have about 150NM to go to get closer to the head of the fleet.
