Comments

We are currently heading slightly south of our previous course to allow a low to pass to the north, we hope to turn more northerly in coming days as the winds swing around behind us. The balance of comfort and speed seems to be working well for all onboard.

Most people are relaxing and chilling out after the previous long and hectic days at Davis.

Cheers,

Andy and Simon
