Hi Skippers,

3 . . . . .Huckleberry Finn . . . . . . . . +83.2nm
4 . . . . .Inspector Gadget . . . . . . .+184.9nm
B9 has passed me (LK) however, I'm working from home tomorrow,
so I will be able to spend a little more time planning my next
move.
HF is now tracking East on a slightly more northern route than
IG who is going a little faster.

Hanging on, LK7 but a close run thing with B9. Well done both.
I don't seem to be making any impression on the speedy HF in
this drag race.

I think I'm dropping out the back of this depression over the
next 24 hrs, but looks like Emma will ride it for a while
longer. However according to Windy, the next depression behind
this looks like it will give me strong wind directions to take
me north again. I need to get a little further north to 50
degrees latitude in order to catch it. Hopefully it will surf
me into Freemantle before the fleet!

Good plan, B9, and I hope it works. I too need to get a bit
further north to catch the best of the coming depression. But I
fear that "la lanterne-rouge" beckons on this leg.

Hi Guys, Having completely messed up the Volvo by trying to
follow the African coastline I'm now trying to concentrate on
the Clipper..... Having tracked east behind LK7 I now find that
she is still ahead of me and a bit north of my position. Ah
well, still a bit to go and lighter winds ahead I believe.
Mike on HF
