19:18 UT 30th aboard Jazz going well, guys have really settle in to the race well and boat is going nicely. after the start thought we recovered well and work hard to get back up the fleet.

Was an exciting passage around Nantucket Island as we picked our way around the shoals, really gets you focused when the depth goes from 30 metres to 5 metres in a matter of seconds and one particular area of less than 2 metres under the keel while doing 13kts. heart in our mouths hoping we have judged it right.

We lost out a little to fleet over night and this morning but are starting to get back into it again and we are happy that we are strategically doing what we think is right

everybody onboard is well and working hard, its a long way to go so very early days
