Hi!
Well, I’m now in the Saint Helena anti-cyclone, sailing upwind on a port tack and with 400 miles ahead of me before tacking for the first of many times; which I will have to do before being able to directly cross the equator.
I’m happy with where I’m positioned and also to finally be 7th overall which of course can be improved, but it won’t be an easy task…
I really don’t know how it will go for the other boats that are further inside, but it could well be that their tactical move works out for them, and they overtake me when we are further north. Everything is possible, although right now I would not change my position.
Yet you just never know…. although in about three days time we should. I hope this side turns out to be the good one.
