We have averaged almost exactly 090 (True)as chosen by you this morning. It
is pretty shifty out here and sometimes we sail higher and sometimes lower,
trying to keep the boat moving fast on a fairly steady wind angle. The wind
has headed from near 180 (True) to 160 (True) and it is forecast to head
further. We currently have 15 knots of wind at the masthead and we are
sailing with full mainsail and masthead code zero at the top of its wind
range. It is damp, foggy but not as cold as last night. The waypoint is now
250 miles away on a bearing of 110 (True). Sailing into a heading breeze it
may pay us to sail low and fast but one consideration is the fleet which is
approximately 20 miles below our line - if we sail too low we will lose this
separation and any chance of bigger gains. We are not worried about the
scoring gate which is at the line of longitude 52.38 West as we have little
chance of beating anybody there currently. I do not think we are close to a
wind direction to tack on although the water is warmer to the South which
could mean more wind.
