After a slightly interesting night onboard Puma Logic, all is now calm and everyone onboard doing well. Philippe the skipper has called this morning and they have caught up some of the miles lost last night diverting to Penzance and the crew are trimming hard trying to eat into the lead of Magnum and Mostly Harmless, the 2 yachts leading the class at present. They have just overtaken the yacht EH01 in the last hour, which is a Beneteau 47.7 yacht crewed solely by girls who are trying to raise £100,000 for Sail 4 Cancer, the charity Sailing Logic also has a close affinity to (the charities logos are on the hull of Jaguar Logic).


Jaguar Logic are basking in the knowledge that their loo roll is not rationed and they even boast at having an employee of Andrex onboard…..not sure about this, will have to look at the crews c/v’s!


Both yachts are moving quickly in up to 30 knots of gusting breeze with a reef in the main and a no 3 headsail set. They have just gone around Bishops Rock in the Scilly Isles and are now heading up to the bottom of Ireland towards the infamous Fastnet Rock, although they do not have to go around this as a mark of the course. Onboard, they have now eaten their 2 home-made fresh evening meals and will be tucking into their first dehydrated meal this evening which is Spaghetti Bolognaise…mmmmm! Tomorrow’s delight will be Chicken Curry.



An update regarding Sara’s condition, is that she is doing well, is fast asleep, and hopefully enjoying a clean, fresh non-moving bed. I will keep you all posted as to how she is when I have some more news this afternoon. On behalf of Puma’s team and me back in the office, we cannot thank the Falmouth Coastguard and the Penzance RNLI enough for their support during last night, it is so reassuring to know that we have the best emergency services in the world!
