Quite a bit of closing up and a lot of different routing. B9
heading north of the Falklands, Penquin and LK7 running between
the islands. IG probably heading round the south island and D2
heading due north close to the Argentina coast line.
Good luck all. Em

Interesting range of options. Impressed by Penquin and LK's
choice of route through Falklands Sound (which was rather busier
in 1982!). Have a safe passage.

this leg and i had a bit of water between us but not so safe
passage but fun, called ashore for a drink and lingered in the
pub to long :P

Looks like this High is going to catch all except the leaders -
so I thought I'd go for it. It would have hit me sooner than
later, and I think will be travelling slower as it gets out into
the Atlantic. We'll see...
Thereafter it looks very variable and that usually means
changeable so as IG wished for I think there'll be plenty of
passing lanes. Starting with B9 heading straight for a 2 knot
zone!
