       23 days we've been out here! I realise, as Rob says, it's an
       awful lot quicker than Magellan himself, but on the Jules Verne
       challenge we'd have been more than half way round the globe!
       Still, it's like a slow chess game, a different pace, but still
       challenging.
       Nice bit of dead downwind that I'm not looking forward to, as we
       appraoch the second gate.

       We drift on.  There aren't many VR races that you can leave for
       two or three days and still find yourself still in contention!
       I'm hoping the reaching angle now on by those of us to the west
       will add a fraction of a knot over those of you running in from
       the east.  Not a game changer though!

       I knows its slow but it is interesting, I have a theory that the
       sailing aids aren't working at this pace, hence everybody all
       over the boat park, normally the leading boats would have sailed
       the same course, I have even passed the VSR overall leader (for
       the mo), I have to say I have enjoyed the tactical battle / luck
       side of this game, its been the most open race for years. and
       being from gods country great value too  ;D, ill check back in a
       couple of days to see how i'm getting on
