I am entered as "Slowboat" which is living up to its name quite well!

I've entered as Dreams. I'm currently well behind you and have a lot of catching upto to do.

I hope you don't catch up this leg 'cos that will mean I have made a serious mistake!

I think when you start it adds you in the back 20% of the fleet which unfortunately in your case also looks like its in the middlle of the doldrums.

I started late and well down the fleet but it was only 2 days into the race then, so it wasn't a great deal behind in distance then, in your case I think you can write this leg off but it should be good practice for the next leg.

I am actually more addicted than I expected. The competitor in me is coming out and its interesting trying to predict the winds/weather a couple of days ahead....and then even more interesting trying to get to where you have predicted the best winds will be. Its turning out to be quite a game of strategy and also fascinating watching the leading groups of boats change according to the paths they have taken.
