At a little less than 100 nautical miles to the Equator at 0500hrs TU this morning Alex Thomson is into the SE’ly trade winds with his lead cut to just under 70 nautical miles. After a patchy evening and night with speeds up and down the British skipper has seen his boat speed rise on HUGO BOSS to 14kts again with his course more headed, making a more SW’ly course than due south.
