       JB and Penquin still getting great speeds.  Penquin still edging
       the drag race - or is he?
       I think B9 may go for another restart this afternoon/evening as
       predicted.  There's also another large low coming in Tuesday
       night.

       Things starting to settle down aboard Penquin and have been able
       to uncork a bottle after all that hectic jibing down the coast,
       in all my years of doing this going down the coast has never
       paid off so only time will tell. Its a promising start for JB
       and I but it is only a start, as we know its the finish that
       counts, You may remember Sideshow lead the whole fleet all the
       way to the Horn bu didn't have a great run home lead him to drop
       well down the field, so its never over till its over.
       No doubt JB will be keeping me on my toes but Im also chasing
       one of the pro's which i am using as a navigation tool,
       Fair winds all

       Sorry for the lack of posts - I've been trace a fault on my
       boats central heating - I think I've found and fixed it -  it
       was a little "nippy" to say the least!!
       Mean while - on board LK, we are pushing hard for the finish so
       I can restart immediately.
       I've done better in the N Atlantic than the South and been
       making over 20kts since just after the equator and currently at
       27.5kts with 1600nm to go.
