The forecasters are also confused as to what happens to the wind
pattern on Monday morning, I'm hoping that will work to our
advantage!
Hey! Look at that - Your Mom SA caught the pick up frigate for
stragglers! That makes me feel so much better about some of my
extravagant wayward navigation over these many legs of both
Clipper and Volvo. :D

Reassuring to know even the super stars can get it wrong!
How to handle the coming transition remains a mystery to me. My
approach from the east strategy begins to look overtaken by
events. Still thinking.....

Their route trace is quite strange - not sure why they came so
far back to the east unless they joined the frigate !!
