As predicted the race will finish early,the call has been given that we finish at the 2nd gate,the wind has been light with a few gusts,so loads of trimming/helming concentration with big coms.There are 5 up for a 'P'finish,H&H,GLAS,NY,NS & The Lady herself.It is so tight all it takes is a gust here or there,or black cloud to suck away the wind,anything at present is possible.
Yesterday we celebrated Cals b'day with Champers & Rum and Coke.With that booster we took back 5 nm on NS which they took on on us over night,and have now extended that by 3.5nm lead.This was done by some very quick evolutions from the wind seeker to the yankee, they were caught napping & we reacted very well to the conditions,maybe a small victory at the time,but the whole crew deserved it for the slickness.We have been watching their lights all night in case we have to cover tack.
Everyone is feeling the pressure in a good way,loads of encouragement by all, some great helming & as ever trim trim.
Now we have to wait to see how Lady Luck plays her hand to us.
