Madam Wen. My replacement is in training for some ultra distance thing in the States but lacks speed but the sailors seem to be doing a sterling job.Quote:

looks like Zlod is just in the lead but nothing in it at this stage. any one of 15 boats could still be first home.
I was expecting them to be sailing passed Jura by now and they still havent got passed the Mull of Galloway which will be fun with no wind to drive you through the rough water. A wide line may be best. at this rate it will be two more days to FW
Team Isle of Man looking good!
Just checked the lead boats speed and direction and they are being pushed Back by the tide:eek: A few more hours and they be back at Whitehaven.:DQuote:

I hope theres more wind before they pass by here its at it's worst in June between 22nd-26th:eek:
Can't get the GPS info at work, bah! Not really supposed to be on here either though, but they haven't blocked it yet.
Have seen the Whirlpool. Slightly worrying place!
The tide has changed and the wind has picked up Ulula has broken clear. Zlod is in the chasing pack. looks exciting but must be very stressful for the fleet being so close on the last leg.Quote:

Aye, just imagine it. After a day long cat and mouse chase up the Sound of Jura and Loch Linnhe we might have moored at Corpach 20 mins behind them with only 4,400 feet and 10 hard miles seperating us from a glorious victory!
Now, where have I heard that one before!!;)
Never mind Toff, Tour De Galles will be an epic alternative!
The Dark Peak(Janet McIver) /Accellerate(Caroline Bullard) combo with Greg Marsh( My old team Vlad) on Hazard have gone from 14th at Whithaven to a top four place so far.
Greg has lots of experience with 4 top three places in the last 4 years. this could be tight
