Penquin strected his lead on JB, but only a little as JB passes
the Captain. The South Altantic has been good so far for this
group but they are moving into headwinds.
On B9 this stretch from Gate 3 to 4 has been a real struggle and
I seem to have spent a lot of time going north and south rather
than east! Still I hope to be at Gate 4 this time tomorrow.
Let us know how you're all doing, and fair winds all.

Hi Roland,
On-board LK - we had hoped for a better Gate 2 to 3 passage but
we just kept missing the v.good weather by a few hours.
Our ghost ship is slightly ahead and 350nm further North. We
should pass Cape Lewin in about 22hrs proving my nav does not
mess up the next weather transition.
Good sailing everyone.

Through the Equator north in 39d 02h 27m - about 16 hours slower
than last time. I should probably abandon this attempt, but
we're keeping going in hope....

B9 Gate 4 Cape Horn - 28d 22h 01m 46s
Gate 3 -4 slower than my first attempt by 16hrs and I had a
horror between these gates last time.

If the race does close on the 01-Apr-19 then allowing for say 45
days - I guess we need to consider a restart around now?
Any takers?
