No Position Report Yesterday
I waited eagerly yesterday for an update on John and Lucy's progress and got nothing. Having searched the Internet I have found updates from another competitor as well as some pictures.
Lucy ( the outer yacht ) before the start of the race. Thanks to whoever took the picture...
In the picture below you can see the green line which John and Lucy's progress up until their last position report on the 01/06/2008. The new blue line represents an East Coast Westerly Centaur doing the race owned by a chap called Alan and named Pipedream. The blue line is Pipedream's progress from 1400 on the 01/06/08 to 1400 on the 02/06/08. Assuming Pipedream's position reports are in GMT then at 1300 UTC on the 1st of June John and Lucy were 42.3nm ahead of Pipedream
Conditions from Pipedream at 1400 yesterday were described as North Westerly Force 4. Looking at the GRIB files for the next 5 days not much seems to change which means great reaching for the fleet.
Hopefully John will press his position report button today.
