12 Pm Update
12 pm update:
The beers are flowing freely in Plymouth for those who are now safely sheltered alongside. War stories are being told and thoughts move to Tom, now at Derriford Hospital Plymouth, with a broken leg in 2 places – get better soon Tom! We are all thinking of you….
Jaguar Logic, Bongani and Exabyte have all made it round The Lizard and are now heading to Lands End with a favourable tide. News from the yachts is good; Jaguar is taking it steady but is right at the front of the class still. They’re having problems with gas at the moment so making a hot cup of tea is taking a while but there are determined to get it sorted. Exabyte have decided to give the next part of the race their best shot as the sun has come out, and the wind has died off a little. Sidney are down to 3 reefs in the main due to some tears but are just plodding along happily. Bongani are the real stars at the moment, heading their class and also keeping up with some of the bigger yachts in Class 1 and Class Zero.
Katie has been dispatched to Plymouth with crew kit, and should arrive late afternoon at Queen Anne’s Battery. Allie will be heading down tomorrow morning as scheduled with the sails, tools and beer!
