Hold your nerve Dipper.

My only advantage at the moment is that I am about 6nM downwind of you.

downwind will rule for the next 24hrs tho!

**Dipper** · 14-10-08, 10:49

Whew! Thanks for the encouragement. I was losing confidence there.

keep your eye out for them gusts!!

**Phoenix of Hamble** · 14-10-08, 11:00

yep... whoever gets into that 8m/s zone first will get a big advantage, right the way through the Canaries....

Its just like real ocean / long distance racing (at least if you're the navigator) make your decision and hope for the following few days that it will pay off....and worry about what the crew will do if it doesn't!

I know it is 2300Nm off .... but are we having a party for Neptune when we cross the equator? Do we have to sit (in the office?!) pooring baked beans over ourselves and generally humiliating ourselves? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
