"Along the north coast of Sicily
Around 1000 this morning Alegre (GBR) and Med Spirit (FRA) rounded the northwest corner. Behind them was Class 2 leader Nikata (GBR) just south of Isola Ustica along with Dralion (MLT) and Wild Joe (HUN). From onboard Nikata, navigator Mike Broughton predicted, “Looking ahead we expect our world to change when we round the western tip of Sicily and enter the southerly winds. The strength will increase and be more on the nose. At the moment we are peeling between the code zero and headsails, but we will just be using headsails shortly. We’re happy with that; it gives us a chance to extend on Dralion, one of our major competitors. We made a good decision last night to stay north, away from the wind shadows of Sicily and the Aeolian Islands. Dralion did the same, and we owe them time unfortunately.”
and now the code 0 is up.... who told me this holidays?
spinnaker. is now going up!
I am on standbuy this means waiting if the guys on the rotation outside need me. 10 noeuds of wind Med Spirit is running at 11 with code 0 on.
Strasvotie, (Good morning in russian), from day 3 in the race. We are know half way. We had a good night with very light wind but we managed well to never stop the boat. Alegre after being far ahead of us is now near buy downwind and we should close by the time we hit the point (Capo San Vito, top north west of Sicily). And even Ran is not as far ahead as it use to be!
