I am totaly pumped I have just been on the helm for the past 2hrs and have just taken the Lady Qing past W.A clipper.After no wind in the Canaries we are making our way to CapeVerde.In light winds I found myself on the helm and somehow managed to sail upto W.A go around her ,take her wind and get a miles distance ahead.This so far is mybest piece of Helming giving me more confidence in light winds ..which are difficult to sail in.
The Slam team helped me with some kind trimming and the winds gave us a little boost as we went past , it is amazing we are in a big sea and yet we could see the fear in the eyes of the W.A crew as we came right behind them and then around them taking their wind ,It was a team pleaser , but lets not get carried away we still have a few thousand miles to go and positions right now aren't too exciting until we get thru the Doldrums

Mate, your boat is 6th and has just managed to slope past a bunch of crims ! Pull your socks up ! As for sleeping with strangers, haven't we been doing everything we can to do just that for the past 9 years ? Now come on son, up to 5th by the next blog. The dopehead Jamaicans are just 51 nmi ahead of you ! Stay lucky.

After yesterday's comment, I take all the credit for Qingdao's leap into 5th place over the Rastas !
