EH01 - Latest news

One or two issues holding us back from our best performance but working on them. Really looking forward to arriving in St Lucia as the end of the race gets closer. It's also nice to be experiencing more typical trade weather, no wet gear so far tonight! We have had site of other yachts for the first time since turning west which was nice, we are not alone out here. All good on board though looking forward to some rum punch.Sent from Iridium Mail & Web.. read more...
