RBIR Day 5, 27/07/10 Polar bears and penguins…
Friday, 27 August 2010
A 1pm call from Playing Around Logic this afternoon finally made us realise that they are all quite, quite mad! Peter explained that they were having the best sail ever, under beautiful sunny skies, whooshing along in a good 11-12 knot north-easterly breeze, with dolphins playing around the bow, everyone back on top form after seasickness, and that the day was good. He then went on to say that they had seen albatross and penguins but hadn’t spotted the polar bears yet! I will let you draw your own conclusions to all of that! But what it does mean is that everyone onboard 'Playing Around' is having the best of times, and thoroughly enjoying every second of it. The yacht had a good night and made some small inroads into the leading two yachts, 'Encore' and 'British Soldier' and put more distance between themselves and fourth place 'Cheeki Rafiki', so that is good news. They are now, at 1700 hrs BST, still rolling along at 6.5 knots and have only 35 miles approx to go before they round Muckle Flugga.
