Wow - this looks to be one of my fastest crossings - I don't
think we will be slowing until after Cape Horn.
Worried, I gybed a little early but was away from my iPad and
forgot my programmed course change.
How's things going with you? Em

IG has also joined the pack in gybing back on to port to head
north east to avoid what looks like some fairly patchy wind
ahead.

Wow my gybe south really cost me. Should have had the sense to
turn back as IG did. Still there's a long way to go.
Also trying the wifi on the train is very trying, but I
eventually got enough connection to gybe again.

I have just programmed 8 jibes for the next 24hrs ! and with
auto sail changing i needn't worry to much anything and i just
keep an eye on things from my phone, not sure how i would cope
without the full options, its no wonder i tend to slip away, i
think you do exceptionally well if your just relying on cards.
