All ready, with 4 minutes to go. Setup with Code 0 reaching sail
and 105 deg locked wind angle.
Quote from Elaine Bunting:
A complex weather pattern could favour the smaller yachts in the
394-boat fleet, in a race that will see a long struggle west
capped by a fast finish

Some interesting weather for the next 24 hours - my nav is
looking confused 😐 already ditto the skipper.
My first Transat run is nearly over - not too bad - looking out
for the next weather system.

Looks like a fast ride for the first 10-12 hours, then the low
moves in and it becomes a typical windward slog all the way the
Rock.
IG sailing with foils and reaching sails as the points locker is
nearly empty.
Good luck everyone.
