LAST LEG
By: RobH Date: July 22, 2018, 1:50 am
---------------------------------------------------------
And so, finally, a short dash to Liverpool to end our latest
round the world odyssey. I’m treating myself to AO.
Good sailing.

I'm trying a new tactic - light wind sails and foils - no
reaching sail or anything else. Gulp!

Going well so far, B9. Less is more!

LK went aground in the night - oh well it seems only fair on the
last leg. Poor nav - I didn't spot the island - doh.
Sorry will be late arriving.

I should have left the foils off and gone for the Code 0! Nearly
there - not sure this leg was worth the trouble.
Glad to see someone is keeping up old traditions, but sorry LK7
hit the island.

And again - clipped the bottom of the Isle of Man - before my
meeting I was clear of the island, but I didn't leave enough
margin for drift.
I obviously don't want this Round the World Race to end!!

All done, Well done the gadget!
I knew I should have left those foils! After all cost and
winnings, that leg cost me 41 credits.

Very well done Rob (IG) and soon Roland (B9)
I will provide a fuller report when I have crept in under the
cloak of darkness - although it won't be that dark.

Two groundings, LK. That definitely wins you the Hairy Trophy.
