       IG and B9 are tantalisingly close to hooking in to a lovely
       depression.  He's being held up by headwinds and IG by light
       winds.  But once we make it we should make up a bit of ground.

       But I fear that we will not catch our ghosts! When this current
       blow stalls and sinks out of the equation I can't see a route
       east without going North where the globe is fatter.  I think
       I'll take my chances ice-hugging with low winds, but with little
       chance of improving our times.
       Is there any appetite for stopping this attempt if we see a good
       starting weather pattern?

       Im happy to restart, At present im not seeing  me beating the
       1st run or even close, the only issue is although we can have a
       good guess at the weather to the equator after that its a
       lottery, is there a cost to abort and restart ? Also just had a
       look at the winds for a restart which don't look great, Shall we
       crack on and have a review at the weekend when the there may be
       a better forecast.
