Day 1 – The Start
I received 2 mobile phone calls and some position reports from John and Lucy this afternoon. During the 1st call I heard:
“in 5th place currently but catching 2 boats in front of me fast.. Called starboard on a yacht. Owner surprised and commented that nobody called starboard in his sailing club”
Then during the 2nd call John commented as follows:
“now in 2nd position. Wind on the nose. The mini transat took off but everyone else just behind..”
We have a couple of pictures in this post (Click to make them bigger). The 1st is the entire route John and Lucy have to travel. And the 2nd is his current progress. In the 2nd the green line represents his position reports and course so far.
At the time of posting this message conditions look set to remain fairly light for John and Lucy during their 1st night at sea.
