This leg is certainly proving quite tricky, and I'm baffled by
which way to go. Change of plan: can't get to the coast to pick
up the land breeze there without losing lots of ground, so IG is
on a middle course between inshore and offshore - in other words
the worst of both worlds! I used to be indecisive.....
Hope things are looking clearer for the rest of you. B9 has
lots of ground to make up, but the slingshot could well do it.

All was going well around the low pressure and into the wind on
the other side of the convergence zone. Forecast showed plenty
of wind...
Now nothing 2.0 everywhere.
I am no longer active in this leg!
Hope you're all fairing better - but don't trust the forecasts!

Aaagh! Sat in windless zone watching boats to east and west
making progress. Leaking lots of places! It's only a game.

Seems like it wasn't just me. Hang in there IG.
Trouble is that it takes so long to get out of at 2.3 knts.
Well done Emma for avoiding it's grip
