La Rochelle - champagne sailing la rochelle



It doesn't get much better than this, 15 knots true , 150 degress apparent, 7.0knots boat speed And pointed in the direction we want to go? the not so fat match loves these conditions and we have finally hooked in to the current we have been looking for , giving us another . 5 knot over the ground.
At night the flying fish are committing hari kari on the deck ,who needs to troll a lure? They are quiet tasty , supplementing our staple of vegemite sandwiches.
All the crew are well rested as the light conditions have enabled louvre to do back to back to back to back watches, 8 hours at a time.
We gave the fleet a 30 hour head start but are taking about 30 miles a day out of the back markers and hope to have caught up to the fleet by tomorrow night.
Cheers la rochelle
