A fantastic day under spinnaker with the best speed of the day 20.8 knots. I'm sure the cheering could be heard in Punta del Este. A busy day keeping sails aloft, with many trips to the masthead conducting gybes, spinnaker peels, and generally just keeping ahead of chafe and wear and tear.

The larder on board is becoming very depleted and the freezer is well into hibernation mode, but the Victualler, Alison Ryan, continues to pull it out of the bag (literally), keeping the food varied and consumed by all.

The day ahead is due to bring change with winds shifting and disappearing, hopefully filling in again for the last push to Punta.

Cheers, Bob.
