       Well done Captain almost home!
       A smaller fleet now... JB finished, I'm not sure what time he
       got.  Dmanator left our ranks.
       B9 has slipped below the 18 knot average speed for the race and
       a high sits in front of us.  LK is also slowed in the confusion
       which is the South Atlantic, but will hopefully pick up the
       trades soon.
       Sail well all.

       Hi skippers and my continued thanks to B9 for his awesome work.
       Since my last report I have had a good lesson in ocean sailing
       from Crikey Bobs.
       Just south of NZ I went north to around a big void and CB went
       south to the ice.  I was holding my own for a while - then CB
       started to press the cold pedal - I thought, no, I’m much
       further north - he may be going faster but look how deep he is.
       He his now 36 hours ahead AND of course, the standard sailing
       rule kicks in “the rich get richer”.
       Chapeau CB.

       blooming Eck Em, I had to look that one up, but thank you, Im a
       bit more of an XTC bod that says all the world is football
       shaped ! I confess I went a little to far south looseing out to
       some boats around me but I was interesting, there was you in the
       north another baot im racing in the middle and I in the south
       the all looked equal until the last few days, keep going Phil
