Good restart from LK. and impressive 48hr distance from Penquin.
The navigator on B9 seems to have got seriously side tracked out
to the West and JB has also had to venture West to find the
wind. Not sure it's going to do our gate 2 times any favours.
The orange ghost is way past me and my own ghost is >500 miles
to the East of me. But I'm hoping to pick up some good winds in
the next 48hrs.

My restart is going ok-ish at the moment - only 30nm ahead of my
ghost and making 30.4kts - we will slow during the next 24hrs.
Certainly from LK's point of view - the trickiest part of this
race seems in either direction seems to be the South Atlantic.
Well done, Penquin, that 48hrs distance is impressive.

Hello All,
Penquin bobbing along nicley 13d 16hrs 22min gate 2, however I
am some 17hrs behind the leaders but still ahead of the ghost
ship but for how long?, another issue Im finding is that a cant
get a decent amount of rouge in a glass without splilling it
::)
Crikey Bobs finished 49d 19hrs 50 mins and is planning to
restart 7am Thursady morning should anybody wish to join her
Good sailing all
Phil

Through Gate 3 in 20d 16h 26m, nearly 24 hours faster than first
time.
Wind has gone light down near the ice line, so we’re having to
get back north a bit. Looking a bit light for the next couple of
days though.
