We just started to slow down after a great 24 hours heading in the right direction - straight lining Northern Ireland. Unbelievable to think that we are looking out for land and that land is home - well the UK at least. And that we just moved our clocks to UTC. Just crazy. It's all very, very slowly - bit by bit - starting to sink in as to what we have achieved.

The crew are sailing the boat so well. I'm so proud of how well they are doing. The dreaded wind hole looms, so it's anyone's guess as to how well we will do - but either way - it's been an epic race and they have done brilliantly. I just woke up from a whole night's kip ... so something must have gone right!

Keep everything crossed for us that we can make it through this wind hole. Thanks for reading.

Sailing with style - Nik
