Sorry a little late this morning. and 27 hours since last report
- so greater distance covered by many.
JB has re-crossed the Equator and crossed Windydave coming the
other way.
IG has got away from B9 and Rob increases his lead with every
hour in stronger winds. Now 200 miles ahead, both should round
the Horn today.
Emma still at 34 knts but not great DTG. DTG gets strange down
in the Southern Atlantic.

IG at Gate 4: 29d 15h 24m
IG has pulled out a bit of a lead on B9, but it's all to lose in
some complex-looking weather up the S Atlantic. Nav considering
whether to sweep to the east, or go a more direct route past the
Falklands. Leaders have taken both routes!

Hi
Thanks for the report - LK is back up to a good speed now after
12 slow hours.
Hope to maintain a reasonable speed to Gate 3.
Em

B9 at the horn 29d 20 58 54. 5 hrs behind IG and all because I
went a little off piste. Ah well I thought if IG went West I'd
go East and contrarywise, However Rob went straight so I'm going
for another lap of the Artic.
Actually my time was quite good at 3149th (so far) so Rob's must
have been even better.
