Nearly less than 100nm to finish line, very excited as we are head to head with teams Dare to Lead and Our Isles & Oceans. I’m hoping the result will be in our favour. We are fast approaching to the finish line at an average of 10.6kt.
Oban harbour is 5 miles further away from the finish line, so it is likely we will arrive around 3pm at the harbour boat time which is 5pm local time I guess. A likelihood of a hot shower after 19 days is just amazing. We haven’t changed the boat time to adjust recently but will do once we arrive to the land:
I just came down for the 4am look entry. It’s one of the chilliest nights of our race, I’m wearing 4 layers and foulies on top, although I didn’t bother wearing boots so I kept my crocs on, with waterproof socks underneath. We are now probably leaning at 40-45 degrees, and I enjoying the movement of the ropes on the way to the saillocker and the everything hanging and continuously swinging. Probably a rare view in the rest of life.
After all, it is our last night on the Atlantic. I was watching plactons on deck, what a lovely view.
