"It was going OK and I thought I had got through OK, but now the breeze has dropped completely and I am stuck. Until something changes I am stuck here. The frustrating thing is I can almost see the new breeze ahead, it is that close, I just cant get there," said Golding this morning. "It is a huge disadvantage.
My worry is Jean Le Cam will now step away as he can get back to the wind to the south of him and get back on starboard.
It has been tough. The routing has changed all the time. My only hope is Jean has stopped and the north works."
