Update from Wedgetail – 1730 4/8/07

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

Very pleasant days sailing today. We are slowly floating past Lady Musgrave Island with the Volvo 60 gapping us off into the distance (10 miles in front now).

A gentle 10 knot southery is pushing us towards the finish, still 90+ miles away. We have just enjoyed a chicken curry and hoping the breeze will hold through the night.

Vanessa (Dudley) is in trouble – she has us 2 metres off the rhumbline! Time for a new driver
