"..... Today we find ourselves still leading the fleet, just, with the big dogs right on our wake and the big bird on our stb flank waiting to pounce. The bird has found its weather and is sailing fast.

On the subject of weather we have a bit on, 25 - 30 with a confused seas, making Phaedo a bit tricky to steer, yet we still managed 17 knots average for the last 12 hours.

Phaedo, hanging on...."
