Big Wednesday

Just a short update as I’m shattered and need some sleep. The day got off to a great start as we led off the startline in big breeze and sailed out in front for most of the first checkpoint, not bad for the old tiger!

Problems with the starboard rudder caused an early swim leaving the checkpoint, but we made some ground and finished in the top ten.

Second leg the breeze had built to 20 knots and in true Archipelago Raid style we had an amazing down hill run through the rocks at blistering speed. We had some great speed and passed through the fleet to record our best finish of the Raid so far with a 5th.

Tomorrow we will cross back to Sweden before the wind picks up. It’s going to be a 30 miler upwind- ouch.

More tomorrow
