Skyelark 2 - D13 Unlucky for some

D13 Unlucky for some

D13 Saturday 3rd December
...but not for the crew on Skyelark 2 – the crew were spoilt by a delightful gesture from our 2 skippers... they stood the crew down on Friday night and covered the night watch between them letting us all catch up on some much
needed sleep. We had refreshed and very happy faces at our full english breakfast... the race is on...

We made good distance overnight under 15-22kts of wind with our skippers (Dan + Christian-R) on the helm – of course, we would have been faster if our highly tuned racing crew had been on duty?

We know we are heading for the dead-zone but we are determined to search out every ounce of wind that we can to minimise our hours under motor and race penalties.
For our crew: results matter... and we will be pushing all the way to the finish line.

Our eight jolly sailors on Skyelark 2
Have had a beer but only a few
Our goal is in sight
Our faces alight
Our rummied eyes twinkle as Saint Lucia appears bright
