Hi Skippers,
1 . . . . . . . . Lockkeeper7 (LR/fwp). . . . . . . . . . .
.+255.38nm
2 . . . . . . . . Inspector Gadget (LHR/f) . . . . . . . . . .
.+45.9nm
3 . . . . . . . . Huckleberry Finn (?) . . . . . . . . . . . .
.+129.8nm
LK's nav is smiling a little more now - about 28hrs should see
us over the line. Heading a little above the line to get a
reasonable angle to the final turn.
Great to hear about your Solent sailing - tell me - do those
ferries get in the way much?
Keep going Huck ;-)

Looks like LK is well placed for the run in, with IG now too far
back to threaten. But we'll keep trying!
The ferries aren't much of a problem, but we do have to watch
out for cargo ships and liners - some of them very large indeed
- going into Southampton and Portsmouth. There are big fines
for getting in the way (if you survive)!

Is anyone else joining the Atlantic Anniversary Regatta? Now
that we are all familiar with crossing the Atlantic!

Me too - although my Atlantic crossing record isn’t great!
