       View from the Penquins crow’s nest

       Sorry been a bit quiet, managed to lock my self out of the
       forum, Having yesterday subjected myself to watching England
       getting a hammering from the Scots and the girls losing the
       curling I felt quiet dejected and had to drown my sorrows as
       well as having the habitual curry along the way, however I was
       delighted to see this morning a significant rise in the rankings
       which hopefully I can keep going to the finish, however the
       forecast is giving me a very light airs finish so I will have on
       top of my game to ensure I don’t loose out at the end.
       DT, B9 and IG look set for a strong finish with a good wind and
       I suspect I would have hardly packed the boat away by the time
       they arrive but you will find me in the bar having a cold one
       and watching the cricket 😊
       HF and LK have a little way to go yet and I hope they have
       plenty of supplies and I can only suggest to pull another cork
       or in Em,s case a hot toddy may be more appropriate.
       Not counting any chickens but hopefully another good leg for me
       not bagging any corners and just trying to stay in pressure
       seems to have paid off, it does help having the full option
       package especially unlimited weather cards has really helped in
       the route planning.
       As Roland has already pointed out a good few of the big names
       have lost out again on these tricky legs I can only assume zezo
       isn’t so hot on these unpredictable legs and it comes down to
       skill, guile and of course a big dose off luck, no doubt normal
       service will be resumed when the winds are more predictable.
       Good luck and fair winds to the finish, is anybody doing the
       champions race?
       Phil
