“Hello everyone. A brief message from the depths of the ranking. Another lovely night’s sailing: full moon, 16 knots of breeze. We’re upwind trying to put every effort into our trimming and trajectories to make fast headway and not ‘miss the boat’ for the passage off Cornwall. Yesterday, we really stuffed up by zigzagging along the Irish coast under spinnaker. With lateral separation like that with the wind failing to shift round to the direction you hoped for… that equates to a lot of lost miles. When you’re behind, each time you’re torn between one little devil who says: “try and option” and the other who says: “when you’re at the bottom of the hole… stop digging!” In short, all’s well aboard and we’re preparing for a return to the English Channel with some lumpy conditions. Goodnight.”
