Not too exciting as we all drift downwind at roughly the same
speed - differences of just 01.kt are significant! Definitely
going to run out of Mars Bars (or the 16th Century equivalent).

IG, I think your signature says it all. 16th C mars bars were
probably weevil biscuits dunked in grog.

Its ok ish at the moment, pretty boring. I dread what to think
is going to happen in the doldrums. I suppose it does give you a
better idea of what it was like to sail these ships. I see there
are 8 editions of this race, am I going to do any more.......I
suspect not.
Yo ho ho and a barrel of rum
P.S. at least you didn't have to do any chipping

2 knot minimum wind should help the doldrums - you just don't
want to get caught too far west and have to head upwind
Something to worry about in about a weeks time!
