Morning all,

We are currently riding hard the easterly side of a depression and making good pace. Last night we slowly converged with Garmin and Greenings and I had a nice little chit chat with Andy (Greenings).

The competition is so tight out here that after 1500 nautical miles we are still fighting out mile per mile with about seven boats and, from east to west, there cannot be more than a ten mile spread.

One mistake or bad sail change could take you from first to tenth quite easily. The next few days look fast so we should gobble up another 1000 miles easily.

All is well, cheers from a stormy Southern Ocean.

Dale
