The tracker is working again and they have been pushing hard this morning with a more favorable wind. Have made great time up and are now south of lancelin. Looks like OP and KD are up there with charlotte a few miles back, but where is Sled and Glee? They should get in around 4pm this afternoon if they can keep this up. But will the seabreeze come i again and slow them?
Sue sea must have a problem as they have pulled out and gone into jurien bay.

Good morning, sorry I fell asleep. This armchair racing is hard work.
The winds went East early in the evening and the winds have moderated to what would be now more enjoyable and looking at 15-20 knots and currently fading. Hopefully this will help any crew that was quezy regain their footing and push hard during this morning. They should be in go fast set up, probably hopefully with enough east to be able to reach at a nice angle and putting on the miles while they can before the wind turns south again later this morning. They are around Cervantes at the moment so still a fair way to go after the pounding they received last night. The tracker on Charlotte has stopped working again so well will have to wait and see and guess where they are exactly but I would assume they are between OP and Sue sea somewhere based on where they were last night.
Sorry about the wind last night fellas, could have been the nuts I had with my beer. Gosh this is almost as tough as being out there!

Good news. It looks like the easterly has come in early and the boys are well placed to take advantage of it. Cracked sheets now? and the boat has picked up speed. Heading south and should now start to put on the miles. Doing well with OP in the lead and Charlotte close behind. Just dont know where Glee is as their tracker has stopped working. again.
