It’s an exciting race!

26 May 2017

There is a lot of wind that increases, then decreases and increases again etc. So we get a lot of training with reefing the sails. We tried to keep our course at beam reach to keep our speed up. We were sailing a bit north from the fastest course but we didn’t mind as the wind should turn west according to the forecast. But the wind shifts was delayed with every forecast. This afternoon we were third overall and first on corrected time! 
We are now a bit too low, so since this afternoon we are sailing close hauled to reach our waypoint. We are not sure if we are going to make it, but we are going to try! Tonight, will make or break us. It is going to be exciting until the very end of the race, probably tomorrow night.
