The UK Mini Fastnet Race starts today! We’ve had a slight change of course. Rather than going west to east, we’re going east to west……woohoo! Watch Andrew and I on the Yellow Brick tracker go around Fastnet Rock in 25 knots of upwind bashing!

I see lots of boats “retiring”…it must be rough out there.
Stay on course, and best wishes from Canada….sail on!

More boats retired overnight…plus wind has decreased…hug the shore or go offshore? This is still anyones race!

Based on the wind forecast…hug the shore, big northwest coming in 12 hours…you will fly!

The wind is howling out of the NW, you’ve rounded fastnet, and you’ve got a 200 mile sled ride with the wind right over your stern…what a rush…the waves must be huge, and your speed…you must be just skidding along like a motorboat at full throttle…you are in the thick of it now!!! Whoohooo!!!!
