Time Bandit - Time Bandit - Pressing On

34 56N 52 12W
1144 miles to go

The fleet seems to be almost at its widest spread point. We're farthest south and a couple up at 37N looking for the low coming through.

Our plan is to hold as we are then trend a bit north as the wind switches. Meanwhile, its full sial and 7.0 - 7.5 knots in 15 -18 from the SSW. We've been making some exceptional runs recording 204 miles in 24 hours yesterday so we're pretty pleased. As long as we don't end up flapping around in the middle of the low then dumped into the middle of the Azores High we'll be OK.

We passed close (ish) to another abandoned yacht last night. They weren't with the ARC so no idea what happened but the crew was picked up by a warship so they could be at sea for some time!

The night skies are clearing so the star show is mightily impressive and that helps while the hours away.

Tonight, the winds should start changing so that will keep us busy.
