The breeze is easing down a little at the moment and in 5-6 hours I am going to have to push back to the east to stay with the wind. It is not looking too bad for me just now. It could be worse. The routing has me just ahead now which I kind of like. I can make my routing I think because it is a reaching routing whereas I think Jean will struggle to make his because he is light downwind. So whilst I think I can make 100% of my polars reaching, it is not so easy downwind.
It is quiet now and definitely getting cooler. Of course I might get stopped but first I have to tack and then I have to clear Finisterre. And I have to make doubly sure I don’t upset the jury there….!
