All was going well with Charlotte neck and neck with OP but something went wrong and Charlotte slowed. Looks like kite trouble and it cost them a lot of time. Lost nearly an hour to OP. whatever it was they have recovered and are now steaming ahead after OP. Overall they are still doing well, second behind OP though there are two yachts whose trackers are not working that we expect to be up there and could well be in front of OP. The plan appears to be working with the boys sticking close to shore. The plan was to be on the beach at midnight but it looks like the easterly came in an hour early at 11pm. This means they are a little further offshore than planned so lets hope they are in enough breeze. They look like they are doing well against the other boats that went out west and came to a crunching halt once they hit the Current out in deeper water. A few have now jybed back in and are moving well again but those that stayed out are still struggling. At this rate they will be in ahead of my estimated finsh time of 11am. In fact at this rate they could even be in for breakfast.
