John and Lucy are Charging (9th June)
Between 06.29 UTC this morning and 13.06 UTC this afternoon John and Lucy managed an impressive 42.99 nautical miles at an average speed of 6.65 knots. Then between 13.06 UTC this afternoon and 20.58 UTC this evening they managed another 45.49 nautical miles at an average speed of 5.89 knots. For those that are wondering how the later's distance is greater but speed slower the answer is that the distances measured are the distance made good to the finish. Although the dynamic duo travelled faster this morning not all of it was as favourable a direction as it was this afternoon.
At 20.58 UTC John and Lucy had 327 nautical miles left to sail. At 6 knots that is a little over 2 days, at 5 knots is close to 3 days.

Looks like he is where he likes to be... in the lead, or near to it.
I was wondering what his sense of smell is like?
Would he try to sail faster and faster just to stay ahead of his own pong?
Surely, the authorities will be forced to quarantine him when he arrives?
Go John Go!!
