Reg 0 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Easy to say in hindsight ...Wairua. Still, there was more wind out west & made for easier sailing. Interesting to see that even the Pro's had different ideas on which way to go. Good sailing for me now - heading maximum BS for the wind, pretty much as mark, in decent pressure. Will be hard to pass now, I think follow the leader stuff. I don't see the 1st hundred boats go off in different directions. Think it will be a matter of getting south 1st before thinking abut going west after the mark rounding ... Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 What have you been up to squid? I have taken nearly 100nm out of you by just soaking down on this gybe instead of gybing every 6 hours. Im enjoying the squid hunting again Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Just logged on since last night, I left a couple of gybes on dc to miss some islands that were in the way. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ive gybed to match you now and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top as your not sailing a good angle there mr squid. the wind is letting me come down a little bit so even if you do beat me on the cross, you wont have the 100+nm lead that you did Link to post Share on other sites
