Guest Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Beautiful day for sun bathing! Had a nice 2 hour parkup at Cuvier. Shoulda have popped in for some Paua. Got a NE breeze now. Still a Southerly in town. So a bit of a crap shoot still to come. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Predicted finish times have Oracle knot far behind Gale Force and Rattle in front of both. That's rather interesting. Mr R looking good for a bit of a non-multi clean sweep at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Waiting, waiting for that Southerly. 25nm out now. Link to post Share on other sites

B00B00 310 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Rattle and rum- about 35nm from cuvier at 4am. Wind has gone very soft now and is a VMG run so very sloppy. First half of this leg was fast. Had a balistic first leg, got 19kts boatspeed between channel and cuvier, fractional gen and full main in 35kts of wind! Went around white at about 6pm with gale force, no other boats in sight. So far it has been a very enjoyable race although it looks like this morning might be painfull. Looking forward to bacon and eggs for breakfast again. Go the SR26! Link to post Share on other sites

Zoe 8 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Congrats to TVS who finished at 2210hrs Friday night, with a new race record in hand. Triple 8 were second, arriving in at 1000hrs Saturday morning - so it must have been light out there. TVS's story will be on email to Squid shortly... Link to post Share on other sites
