RBIR Day 6, 28/08 Muckle Flugga
Sunday, 29 August 2010
During the night, 'Playing Around Logic' went past Muckle Flugga and the eight hours previous to that clawed back some astonishing mileage against 'Encore' and 'British Soldier'. Unfortunately as these two went round, and 'Playing Around' was still heading to the tip of the Shetlands, they once again increased speed, so this morning 'Playing Around' is about 34 miles behind 'Encore' having being just 14 miles at 10pm last night. Peter called in last night to explain that they had been 'Sailing their socks off' during the day and it certainly showed with the gains that they had made. All is well onboard, they have had their first dehydrated meal last night, and the comments were favourable – 'not as bad as we thought' was probably the best comment heard!
The conditions at the top of the British Isles at the moment are superb – light winds, clear blue skies, a little chill in the air but most importantly, superb sunshine. Peter commented that the sea was virtually flat calm as they headed towards MF, 'like sailing in the Solent on a beautiful summers day'.
