Day 2 in Istanbul
Hi
Today was another tough day on the water in similarly testing conditions to yesterday. With very random puffs and shifts there is never a dull moment.
We had a reasonably consistent day with nothing overly flashy and came ashore to find ourselves equal second on the leaderboard. Artemis had a really good day today and have a good lead but with three days left to sail and 20 odd races, there is still a lot to play for.
All for now
Dean
