What a coincidence...
I'm also flying out to Switzerland this afternoon... Zurich as it happens. Won't be back to Friday night and will likewise have limited ability for course changes..... |

In the next 12-24hrs the boat leading will finish the race, he is clearly out in front and with a big breeze by them, it wont be long.

Yep! Although the high pressure is badly timed as I am in Switzerland from tomorrow for the weekend with very limited ability for course changes... |

I think you guys had an even tougher South Atlantic than I did. Once you get into the North Easterlies there are hardly any course changes for a couple of thousand miles which is a big relief. Also means any overtaking will be down to where you start from and I think your Easterly position should definitely help you there.

I did wonder if you were giving it a go. I'll be going West, just need to figure out how close I can go to the centre of the high. TBH wasn't much of a decision as us Sans Options sailors don't have the code 0s for high close reaching speed, which generally means seeking the freer angles to reduce the speed difference. Just hope I don't hit the big angle changes at night, which is where we lose out loads. I suspect Dougal and SimonG just behind me will be doing the same. By the way, as a newbie to this, how do we actually finish? I see there is 5 mile radius circle around the flag in Les Sables - do we just need to get inside that?

Approaching the West African coast, with a large (dead patch) weather system ahead..... western route (greater distance, but get broad reaching sooner) or eastern (shorter and more headwinds)...... after a bit indecision, I've plumped for a risky eastwards
