Hi Skippers,
1. . . . . . . . .Lockkeeper7 . . . . . . . . .. .+114.55nm
2. . . . . . . . .B9FUN. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +50.7nm
3 . . . . . . . . Huckleberry Finn . . . . . . . . +72.4nm
4 . . . . . . . . Inspector Gadget . . . . . . . +111.8nm
It looks like an interesting end to this leg. I've go some bad
wind angles for the next 24 hrs, but think I should be safe.
HF & IG are catching B9 for whom the weather gods are being
particularly unkind.
Sail well skippers - I'm researching a suitable venue for our
post race get together in Fremantle !!

Hang in there LK, and heading for a really good result. Looking
forward to that chilled Fosters. Cruel luck for B9 after
leading for much of this leg, and it would be unkind of HF and
IG to sneak past.

Actually, I've been having a battle amongst those who chose the
Southern route. Most especially Lulham-Robinson and it's been
nip and tuck all the way. We lost a lot of positions at the
end, and I think LR has given up now. I believe I will finish
ahead.
Who's that on my bow? OMG it's IG without light sails!!! I may
just be able to catch, but I don't think I can avoid the spoon
on this leg. :)

Congratulations, Emma, on a fine win and a very respectable
overall race result. I'm really surprised to find IG ahead of
B9, and I'm hoping I can keep her in my wake for another few
hours.

Many thanks guys - I spent some of last night gazing over my
virtual transom and AIS - fascinated by the battles between you
guys.
I was grumbling about my weather but for Roland in B9 - that was
harsh.
