Azores and Back Yacht Race 2011

After Sam White and Richard Raistricks efforts on the race to the Azores the race home will see Sam's first solo ocean race. The competion comprises some of the finest sailors in the UK and thanks to a great race here Sam is still well within sight of a podium finish. This is Yacht racing at its best and of course anything could happen in the next 1250 miles.

Passed Fastnet rock at 06:50

The spinnaker went up again at 5 am, and we picked up the pace, there was a great swell so we were surfing alot and were averaging over 10kts. We made big gains on the boat ahead but because of our slow pace throughout the night have lost a lot on Chris in Taika.
Sun is out though and all is good, need to go up the mast later to sort out some bits but will get some sleep first.... Ahhh sleeeeeep!!
