Day 3, 25/08 It’s Cold Up North!!
Thursday, 26 August 2010
As the south of Britain descends into Monsoon like conditions, the yachts in the Round Britain & Ireland Race were having relatively better weather.
'Playing Around Logic' is now listed in Class 1, where it should have been since the start of the race – it was an error of the Race organisers which had them on the incorrect handicap. Now all is resolved and the team are battling it out with 'Encore' and 'British Soldier' for the podium positions in Class 1.
Peter called to say that all is well onboard and that they are working hard to go as fast as they can. Morale is high, but they say it’s cold up North….. The wind has dropped further since this morning which can be seen by the drop in boat speed by all in Class 1.
The weather forecast is looking very interesting. 'Playing Around' has moved further east and have come away from hugging the coast and re-joined the main pack on the rhumb-line to Mukkle Flugga. 'British Soldier' is now ahead on the water and on handicap.
