Happily settled sailing

Aviva Saturday 21st November 2009 at 0725hrs
 
We are now happily settled sailing in the deep trades. We have a steady 18 knots of wind and we have set the spinnaker. Now is the race to break through into the Caribbean Sea and gybe cleverly to get to Costa Rica first in our little group. The competition is fierce and it is great to be close racing all the way to the finish. Must not forget at all the fact that 1876 took the northerly route and are approaching fast with a slightly shorter distance to go to the finish.
 
Aviva and her happy crew are all well and enjoying the sun, flat water and now fast sailing towards our destination. I received an email from Sam onboard Artemis the other day and it was great to hear from her. It was just like the Vendee Globe again with emails with Sam, chatting with Brian, now all we need are naughty sayings from Cali and the gang is all back together again.
