Huh!

It will only take me some 50 races to pass you Tango, with this kind results ;).

I must admire your skills in ”biodynamic” computer sailing. You provided us and our routing software a truly hard fight again.
It was funny, sunday morning we were like 120th, some 70 nm after the leaders, and still able to claim back the top spot ;-). I am especially proud of the two TWA nights: the TWA120 sunday night I mentioned earlier, and the TWA142.5 last night, that secured the win, and allowed me to sleep properly…
Last night was also intresting in that sense, that there seemed to be a lot of ”playgroud” when it comes to possible routes between Haiti & finish, but u just had to position the boat perfectly when it was entering the calmer & backing wind area close to shore. I set the boat @ TWA 142.5 about 2100 UTC, made a little correction @ 0100 UTC, then woke up again @ 0430 to make the final adjustements. And it all came out just perfectly. But I have to admit, we played little tactics on you, instead of strategy, just to secure a double win for our team (Laiska & Flamma01, my younger brother). Even that worked better than expected, as Jepsom was able to finish ahead of you ;-).
Looking forward to the next leg, it’s bound to be a hard fight again!

Our TWA120-all-night-long -trick worked just perfectly!

Lots of sleep + reeled in almost 10 nm on you, Tango!

Instead the fight for top honours seems to be between u and me;-)

Now I think that the west-pack will be the big winners. :)
